Pros

All established company pros: * Things are in process. * Competent employees get valued. * High level (SDE 2 or more) get good compensation. * Adds a lot as a brand value to your resume.

Cons

* There is a kitchen politics regarding who get what rating. * Most of the system is well matured, doesn't provide sufficient opportunities to learn. * Hectic life balance- being on call sucks the life out of you.

Pros

Good atmosphere, some interesting and large-scale problems. Incredible place to meet some brilliant people to learn from. Quite a few small clubs or groups doing activities outside of work.

Cons

Edinburgh is not my preferred town in the world. I can't find many bad things to say about my work other than this.

Pros

Flexible working time, many things to learn, you are the owner of code, you can discuss various technical aspects and make decisions on your own, good amount of leaves in a year.

Cons

Sometimes work pressure is too much, you may find hard to have a proper work-life balance in these situations, many pros depend on the team and managers
