Pros

Very interesting projects to work on. Good opportunities for career development. Lots of training available. Friendly and experienced colleagues. Easy to get help and support on projects from colleagues. Very flexible in terms of working hours and working from home.

Cons

They use hot desks which you have to book in advance, which personally I'm not a fan of, I prefer to have a fixed desk. However you can block book a desk for a number of months in advance. This is just down to personal preference really. You use the same laptop for working in the office as you do for working from home. If you want to work from home but you don't have your laptop with you then you have to go into the office. I'd prefer to have separate laptops for home and office working.
