Pros

I worked here for 4 yrs and quite enjoyed my time there. The work culture there is great and it is generally a very relaxed work enviroment. We worked very hard and were quite busy most of the time but the people there were great. There was good benefits from the job too. We got free lunch every wednesday and hot food the last 3 days of each month. There were also free snacks and cereal each day a fully stocked soda fridge and also a leisure room with a ping pong table.

Cons

We were frequently understaffed and the training we were received when joining was not great. It is getting better now though

Pros

A fast paced, innovative company

Cons

Some times reactive instead of proactive in management style, especially at mid-management level. That is changing as the company grows and leadership matures.
