Pros

Most colleagues I met were friendly and knowledgeable. My line manager was supportive and a very nice individual all-round. A few bad apples but overall I thought the culture was good,

Cons

Career progression opportunities were very limited. Pay was also poor, I was earning below £30k despite being full-time and at the company for almost 4 years by the time I left.
