Modern offices with great on site facilities. flexible working is widely accepted and working hours are good lots of opportunities for career progression

Cons

Very bureaucratic with too many policies and procedures. salaries too low and job titles are somewhat misleading. Organisation needs some stability so less org changes would create better morale and job security
