Pros

Projects are amazing, PTO is more than most firms and health care benefits are good. Social events every month. Nice people from partner to graduates. Engineers out of college can learn a lot there.

Cons

Overtime isn't shared fairly around the office. Some people don't have work life balance and some do, depends on what team you are on. They don't want to grow, which seems strange and limits opportunities. And it helps to be British.

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
