Pros

Good work-life balance; decent facilities (gym, canteen); very transparent internal communications from the top level.

Cons

Not much opportunity to meet people outside your speciality - you see the people in the next room at coffee, but they're working on roughly the same thing as you, and you never see the people in the next building in a context where you'll talk about what you're doing. Salary not spectacular given how expensive Cambridge housing is.
