Pros

Access to training resources (if you can find time on top of your day job)

Cons

Toxic work environment - dictorial, exsessive expectations, always-on culture. High workload, as all teams only staffed at max. 80% capacity and expectation to deliver signficant needle-moving projects on top of your 'business-as-usual' work to meet expectations. Salary increases fixed within 'bands' and promotion extremley hard (e.g. have to 'exceed expectations 4+ years on the run to be considered for a promo) Benefits average (max pension contribution only 5%, 5 days in-office, only 25 days holidays)

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.
