Pros

Nice office with a good location for London.

Cons

Lots of office politics and aggressive culture. Long hours with constant system issues and unpredictable finish time hence no work life balance. Even if you start very early to be able to leave on time this still does not happen. No respect for your plans / life after work because there’s no end. Double standards with senior people leaving early leaving the rest of the team hanging with no support if needed (when facing system issues etc).
