Pros

- A good name for your resume - decent starting base pay I honestly can;t think of any more postive attributes

Cons

- back office people are shunned - no room for lateral movement, if you show any interest in moving around they will axe you - HR is not helpful at all

Pros

Flexible working hours including working from home Nice people with high tolerance of mistakes Fair pay and benefits considering the work load

Cons

Move relatively slow due to complicated processes. Could feel trapped in circle of approvals and get nothing done. Need some serious ways of measuring performance.
