Unrewarding  work
Pros: - Some opportunities to work at the cutting edge, when the market dictates what the cutting edge is
- Very good culture, supporting wellness and a strong commitment to mental health etc
- At a macro level, work life balance is supported if one is proactive about achieving it
- At manager and above, benefits are good: individual health insurance, car allowance (cash)
Cons: - Work is highly disinteresting - we don't do enough to influence the market about what is important and influence customer demand. We just bend over backwards to satiate existing demand and the low margins that entails. e.g. in Healthcare do more to influence the market around reallocating scarce resources away from the acute sector to the root cause of the problem - social and primary care, rather than just focusing on cost reduction in hospitals/A&E
- Pay is abysmal - I've not received a real-terms pay increase in 5 years with the firm. Pay ladders are opaque
- Bonus scheme is being revamped and is more transparent but doesn't align reward with quality of output since it is too highly reliant on work being sold being highly profitable, which it isn't
- Staff turnover in my team has been astronomical
