Pros

- Free cakes at 10! - Free coffee that's very good - Good canteen - The Abingdon HQ is very modern

Cons

- Lots of managerial red tape. To work here, you need to enjoy attending countless hours of meetings where nothing gets decided. This of course means that you end up spending more time in more meetings! - Distinct lack of promotional opportunities. - Development practices are lagging behind the rest of the industry. - Engineering doesn't play 2nd fiddle, we play the viola. Everything revolves around sales, and as a result our products are designed to maximize short term returns.
