Pros

Extra week of annual leave

Cons

Poorly run. Lots of standard operating procedures, very inconsistent adherence/enforcement of these SOP's. Encouraged to identify and communicate issues, then told to ignore the issues and let someone else deal with it "later" (Later is a myth). Encouraged to take initiative and be proactive, punished for doing it the "wrong" way and taking the spotlight away from your direct report. Preaching an absence of bureaucracy during on-boarding only to have a nauseating amount of it was greatly upsetting on a personal level. It shouldn't take 3 layers of approval to make minor changes.
