Pros

It is a very conducive office environment with very good work ethics and a work life balance. I would work there again in the future.

Cons

It can be tedious going from one floor to the other since there is a long hall way and offices very detached. It is a closed society though with very strict visitor rules because it is next to the British high Commission.
