Pros
Lovely office in handy city centre location. Relaxed atmosphere. Overtime almost unheard of amongst devs. Fairly regular free pizza / cakes / etc in the office - Bacon sandwiches on payday!
Cons
The old Family feel back when the company was 4Projects before being bought out was slowly being replaced by a more rigid corporate feel. "Work hard, Play hard" attitude can be off putting if you're not part of the drinking culture. Very little job progression, except applying for your boss's position if they quit. Flexible working often not very flexible. American head office doesn't really understand (or apparently care) about the main UK product, which was basically being left to die.
