Pros

The company have regular opportunities to provide feedback directly to senior management. People are friendly. Canteen is ok, but not subsidised enough.

Cons

You will be suffocated by the demand to meet their values and will be able to get a job elsewhere for 10 - 40% more with much, much less hassle. The values detract away from your ability to become a better engineer and there is very limited scope for promotion beyond a certain level. The feature work is pretty dull most of the time and they are incredibly inefficient with getting work done, but they're convinced that throwing more people at the problem is the solution. Actually, they need less, but in tighter teams with more autonomy.
