Very large organisation - meaning both opportunities and challenges
Pros: - Very large organisation - meaning several business units, departments, etc.. which presents individuals with opportunities. Also presents opportunities for cross-border/international projects which can be very interesting
- The people are great - some very supportive colleagues
- Good management
- Constantly changing and evolving (albeit sometimes slowly) means that the work is constantly changing and evolving and remains interesting
- great benefits (flexible scheme)
Cons: - The fact that the organisation is large, therefore meaning you can sometimes feel very lost in the silos (which are also sometimes kept very separate from each other, purposely). This means you often struggle to understand the bigger picture. More work should be done to provide employees with an overall understanding of the various teams/point of contacts, etc.. 
- Systems are not up tp scratch/operationally as effective as could be - and no feedback is ever requested from the actual users (processes are imposed rather than created based on feedback)
- Processes are very strict - sometimes unnecessarily. Some effort could be made to streamline and simply these processes, targeting the real risk
- lack of pay rises
- career progression is possible (and there are so many departments to choose from), however you can sometimes feel a bit "on your own" to find opportunities (there should be more face to face meetings with HR/management  on this and continuous advice/guidance/help given to high potential/high performing employees)
