Pros

Good atmosphere, most people are very friendly and approachable even across teams. The benefits are generous and the office locations (in London) are pretty central and easy to get to, lots of good places to eat around etc.

Cons

There is a significant minority of technical staff who have their noses stuck in the air, holier than thou attitudes etc. Also the management are not particularly approachable or helpful when you're in need of guidance or direction. There is little to no strategy, and this has been the case for the last 4 years, with no signs of change. Either this or the management are so conceited they won't disclose even the slightest details about strategy or direction of the company/product.
