draining
Pros: flexible hours in my position
good salary
good manager at the moment
large company so possibilities to move do different roles (but stay within company)
Cons: Despite the positives I need to be motivated and able to make a difference. The problem is working for such a large company drains your energy. Dealing with management BS, process this, process that, etc... It basically saps the drive out of you and doesn't leave much left. Some people must love this sort of thing, but I _want_ to be passionate and motivated about what I do, not drained of energy thanks to bureaucracy. Perhaps this is due to working mostly for small dynamic companies in the past...

Some people must love it, others coast along (like myself currently), and others move on - which is what I'll probably do in the future.
