Pros

Really smart people, catch them before they leave. Working from home- the only work benefit. You'll need it given the workload. Location- central London.

Cons

The salaries are abysmal, benefits are non-existent. They do not invest in their employees. No promotions, no training, no rewards/incentives to do good work. Unless you're in sales. You're basically trapped in the office even though many of the jobs require you to be knowledgeable about the world at large. There is a complete lack of understanding of modern day work practice. Management is completely clueless and incompetent - Internal people who have stuck it out long enough or people who are good at sales. Barely anyone that understands research, innovation, food, etc in management. They aren't experts or leaders, just cogs in the machine. Nobody really interacts in the office unless forced to by the parties which are supposed to substitute for real benefits. I would've stayed but I feel I had to leave. It was the best job with huge potential and by the time I left I couldn't care less.
