Pros

Small tightly-knit teams allow for constructive teamwork while giving real ownership of the work that you do. Generally open to feedback and improvement both on personal and corporate levels. Casual and friendly atmosphere. Overall lots of nice people to work with. Beautiful office and though far from Cambridge centre, still very commutable. Decent benefits package.

Cons

There's a clear lack of ambition. Lots of great people coming up with great ideas, and then there's a bureaucratic process by committee to deconstruct it and scale it back to the absolute minimum that they can get away with, sometimes to a point where the implementation doesn't even make any sense anymore. A second roll of red tape is then kept for later to wonder why consumers prefer competitor's products that look nicer, work better, have more features and cost less. A fair amount of petty office politics and egos to deal with, but I suppose some of that will exist anywhere.

Pros

Friendly and collegiate atmosphere, lots of project to work on and you are given plenty of trust to progress them yourself or suggest new ones.

Cons

Deadlines can be tight on occasion. Changes in senior leadership team have been disruptive and there have been times when micromanagement gets in the way. Two rounds of redundancies while I was there, I was part of the second wave.

Pros

Excellent location on a greenfield site. Collegiate style, flexible working and good benefits.

Cons

There can be rapid changes of focus due to the volatile nature of the energy market, so pressure can be intense.
