      Pros

      - Smart Engineers - Good work-life balance - Above average pay - Openness and directness. I did not see that much politics

      Cons

      - No innovation going on - Boring internal projects. Some of the projects have so many engineers with so little work, so they over-engineer things - People are not that nice. Sometimes it seems like everybody is at work because they have to - Edinburgh gets boring after a short while

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
