Pros

Health insurance, pension, wellness program. Relaxed office with perks like snooker table, games console, free coffee.

Cons

Disorganised. The term 'Agile' is thrown about but is seems to mean everyone working in completely undefined roles and working in a completely unstructured way. Expect to work on things that you weren't hired for - e.g., you might be hired as an app developer and then be expected to do DevOps or QA work as there is nobody serving that function. Meetings can go on for hours and sometimes involve the most senior people in the room shouting at each other. It markets itself as a software company but is far from it in reality.

Pros

Great benefits such as health care, competitive pay and a good work environment. There are good opportunities to advance in the company, which is and continues to expand.

Cons

The company didn't start out as a technology company and it shows in some areas. The red tape involved in some basic activities can be absurd.
