Never again, even if it pays more
Pros: If you have good technical abilities you will get exposure to large and varied environments. If you have good skills and that includes negotiation skills then you can get decent pay too.

There are some nice people there and good managers.
Cons: Work is farmed offshore to lower skilled workers, as a result I spent large amounts of time cleaning up major issues created by others.

Excessive red-tape and bureaucracy

No work/life balance, check-in/check-out mentality, permanents get no overtime and "time off in lieu" is rarely used and never equal to the overtime taken.

too many politics and bullying is not stopped in the workplace
