Pros

The potential to learn cross-functionally is immense. Being a 165+ year old heritage, there is a huge ladder to be climbed but, it's one of those opportunities that comes rarely which helps in understanding the complete landscape of the Digital world starting from customer facing applications to the new-generation back end and the heartbeat core of the company.

Cons

- Always stressful, political nightmare, bureaucracy of the highest level, culturally going downhill and really fast. - There are practically no work hours, 24*7 with the same old work, same features being re-written in different technologies for job security, improper prioritization, PMs just focus on deliverables that will accrue them bonuses at the end of the fiscal year. There is no focus on customer experience, no innovation.
