      Good balance of stimulating environment, good pay and decent hours

      Pros

      The recruiting process is fairly stringent, so the people you end up working with are of high caliber. A great part of the culture is the 'fun' element and even senior managers do not take themselves too seriously. Makes for a highly enjoyable environment where people focus on delivering results while making sure they are enjoying themselves.

      Cons

      Within certain groups (esp. marketing) there is quite a lot of competition among employees, with plenty type-A people pushing ahead to get promoted as fast as possible and ahead of everyone else.

      Flexible place to work and good people.

      Pros

      Although everything written here can be different depending on the department, at least they are valid for the risk department. Flexibility: as long as you get your job done, it does not matter if you want to take half an hour or two hours for lunch or if you want to take a break in the middle of your day to go to the gym. If you need a day off for whatever reason you will have it. In general, there are not very strict rules, so you can ask for whatever you want to your manager. Of course, you will have to be flexible with the company as well (it is a two-way relationship).

      Cons

      Sometimes you have got to work very fast to get things done, and work overtime, which is not paid (and this is the flexibility from the employee to the employer).

      Great company, but can become a bit suffocating. And a young company.

      Pros

      A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

      Cons

      Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.
