Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

No smarter planet, no international opportunities, no career progression, low pay. Very easy work, very nice people.
Pros: 90% of people are nice.
Very flexible, work from home, etc.
Good education opportunities if you get the right manager.
No blame culture.
Cons: Poor career progression, victimised by the matrixed organisation.
Low pay.
Endless bureaucracy.
Extremely cost focused and tightly controlled budget.
Stuck with outdated technology internally.
Cool marketing stories around smarter planet are all but invisible to the mere mortal employee.
Promisses of role changes and international secondments are not nearly as achievable.
Experience varies wildly from department to department.
