Business Outlook

Pros

Great staff, good work/life balance, does good work in development, good for junior roles to get some experience to kick start their career, CEO and US team are great and have an open mind, flexible working, look after staff etc although they could be more engaged with Europe.

Cons

UK management is the old school management style from the 80's and as long as you are there from 9-5 then they think you are doing a good job. Wrong industry for this imo Innovation and thinking for yourself are not encouraged. Wages are below par for the industry. Office location is outside London and transport link is not great, breaks down or delayed at least twice a week so if you want to live in London then not ideal. Used to be more flexible with working hours etc but that is now not encouraged. The favourites that have been there for 10+ years are looked after even though they do very little.
