Pros

Nice people, expectations were very clear when I started but ....(see cons)

Cons

Management changed and then everything went out of the window. Mission was no longer clear Abandoned to my own devices and not given any feedback as to whether I was doing what was required (or not). Direct manager changed several times and I was never made aware of who that person was. I would not recommend working here. Lots of non-work related "training" (not sure if the subjects would evolve but when I was there is was all of the latest "buzzword" topics rather than training about the job or industry)
