Big company, odd means of doing business

Pros

Great place to learn, awesome projects. Benefits are good, meaning insurance and others. Cool offices. Some really nice people.

Cons

Work life balance is a joke, but much worse in the UK where they expect overtime (16 hour days sometimes) with no compensation. Some true savants good at their job but should never be in management. Echoing what others say, you have to be British or in the A club to get promoted, and it's nasty what some folks do, which is obvious to most, and still get promoted. There is a reason all the real talent leaves after 3-5 years.

Pros

The projects we work on are always really interesting, and the opportunities to travel around the world to different offices are amazing.

Cons

Salary is lower than all competitors, a distinct lack of training, a lot of bureaucratic nonsense regarding career growth and even general day to day needs.
