Pros

Some great people passionate about improving the lives of young people. Great perks include flexible working/work from home, vitality healthcare and associated employee perks, office shuts for Christmas also.

Cons

Some very bad managers who promote 'friends' opposed to staff who have made great professional achievements. Not a very diverse workforce either.
