Pros

It is quite a relaxed working culture, a nice location and grounds.

Cons

Old-fashioned hierarchical structure. I think they recognize they have a problem. For a while, they had this "wild ducks" concept to encourage innovation. But it's actually a suffocatingly rules-based culture. Success there is all about ticking boxes.
