Pros

Flexible working hours Buy-in from senior management and executives for major projects. Benefits are excellent

Cons

Hierarchical structure Large organisation meaning it can take twice as long to get work done as everything gets stuck in bureacracy

Pros

Fairly Laid back. At times there is some interesting work. They look after their people fairly well, or at least where I was. They invest a lot in your career development.

Cons

They do not hire the best people for the job due to politics, but that's a general problem here in South Africa. Its a giant corporate machine and sometimes you feel like a lot of what you do is meaningless
