Pros

A cooperative culture. Flexible and family friendly. Big push towards Agile and Lean Working practices. Broad range of flexible benefits.

Cons

Some working environments (office spaces) are not very comfortable. This isn't a place to work if you are looking for job security. Strategy changes frequently which can lead to anyone being surplus to requirements. Redundancy benefits are not what they used to be and notice is not paid in lieu so you won't get paid if you move straight into another role.
