Amazing work life balance. Nice compensation and benefits. Interesting projects with great focus on value for the customer. 80% of te time invested into work, and 20% into personal or technical development

Cons

No clear career progression paths - this is something that is said to be under review by top management. Not as financially competitive as some other big names. Not a huge budget for training.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
