Pros

Great company to work for since being a partner makes all the difference. Staff that conduct the interviews are particularly warm and professional.

Cons

The Tea room is often filled by a small group of silver old women who everyday sit and bash relentlessly on all manners of topics. A lot managing staff were in that group.
