Pros

Good old age benefits and free coffee

Cons

A last century mentality where you are doing whatever the Manager/s command. Keep your mouth shut and you 'll be fine. Don't buy into the Agile BS to be open. Stay closed and you are safe. It's who knows who culture. Many non productive people roam around all day long just cause they are safe through friendships and long employment status. Nobody talks to you unless you serve their purpose to climb the ladder. Meaning more money for less work. Do your job and go home.

Cons

If you get an offer from Finance or PSAB don’t join as the leadership in these units are really Bad - worst you will ever see in you carrerr. Pathetic leaders or rather call them politicians and other managers who lick to survive. Not the teams to learn and grow !!! Otherwise its a great company - Globally.
