Pros

Generous benefits difficult to match elsewhere, including bonus scheme for managers and defined benefit pension scheme. A fairly interesting industry to be involved with.

Cons

Slow speed of change in the company, frustrating at times due to the German parent company and also very political in senior management roles.
