Pros: The company offers good compensation compared to average software engineering jobs in London. There is a comfortable work-life balance. There are also some interesting projects going on.
Cons: The company aimed to grow in size till a few years ago but now it looks like it is aiming to shrink down to some extent, and thus, we now have occasional layoffs. It also has too many middle managers and this sometimes drives them towards useless office politics.
