Pros

Great work life balance. Free pizzas. Good benefits.

Cons

Micro-management. Long term strategy changes every six months. There are lots of people who think they are Steve jobs or Bill Gates. Lots of red tapes, not agile at all. Too many people with too many opinions about everything. Too many prima donnas.

Pros

Great perks, you can expense any book no questions asked, the company is all about you driving yourself to be better. HR really listens to you and the work is varied. The top point is you'll never work with so many great people under one roof, Every team is filled with Excellence from Finance to QA, Ambitious too.

Cons

What management say and what they do is completely different, it was really just a pipe dream at times... which is pretty demotivating after the 3rd or 4th time.

Pros

- Most friendly bunch of colleagues you'll come across - No overly rigid structures and processes, every process can be questioned... by anyone - Relatively flat hierarchy - They genuinely love technology - participate in regular hackathons, discussion groups, conferences - There is no business-developers separation. It means that the business have a greater understanding of what the developers do, and vice versa - Remote working is possible - Surrounded by smart people, always an opportunity to learn

Cons

- Office space was the main challenge (which may have changed since I left). Cons were not the reason for my leaving the company, was very happy there.
