Pros

Excellent benefits package on top of basic salary. Lots of good people trying hard to do the best they can to contribute to company targets. Pleasant work environment (in some buildings) and efforts being made on new surroundings.

Cons

Very little autonomy to make changes or get things done. Too much faceless back office and going around in circles with queries or issues. Morale is very low in some areas due to restructures and excessive workload. Top management doesn't care about individuals and is very insensitive about impact of restructuring changes made. HR effort is all focused on hiring and onboarding, there is very little support as an employee or people manager once in the company, as there are not enough HR business partners.
