Simply an amazing place to work. Great People, Great Impact, Great Development
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
It is what is says on the tin, an amazing place where you get out as much as you put in. If you personal development - you get it. If you want to have a huge amount of impact - you can. If you want to work with great people - you will.
Cons
It can be a slog. High expectations from those around you will drive you to do amazing things, but also to work some long hours at times.

Fast pace learning, travel and meal perks (pre-Covid), intelligent peers, chance to experience life in many big companies.

Zero work life balance (often worked 90+ hour weeks) leads to burnout, then hard to get sick or annual leave. No choice on industries or projects. Big diversity issue with senior management (good luck progressing if you're not Caucasian). Intimidation and bullying from project leaders is rife.
