Pros

The name and the company's reuptation in the market. That's it. If you're lucky enough to have been offered redundancy/relocation, that's a pro too.

Cons

Arrogant senior management clique, with golden children that can do no wrong and whose opinion counts far more than it should...

Pros

- senior leaders are focused on changing the organisation to meet the needs of the future - the pace is fast and there are opportunities to make a difference - communication is getting stronger - strong market position

Cons

- inevitable politics amongst leaders and their senior teams - all trying to find space in a new larger organisation - the pace can become too much very quickly - weak management skills after years of underinvestment in hiring and development
