Pros

Pretty good benefits. Flexible working. Some great people to work with.

Cons

Team dynamic is very mixed, and often siloed. With the right manager and team it will be great, but can also be rubbish with the wrong ones. Very slow moving too - decisions can take forever. Progression can be limited. Some staff have drunk the kool-aid. Future prospects depend on location.
