Pros

If you like being in the office, you will love it here. Great catered food, drinks and snacks in office. Awesome swag bag incl Bose headphones when you join.

Cons

Don’t join to sit at home and work remote. No business class travel even on stupidly long flights to Sydney, Singapore and Tokyo.
