Pros

great people to work with, interesting projects, like to give big responsibility to junior people

Cons

Horrible outdated office for the marketing and finance teams, but lovely refurbished floors for the developers. They pay based on the Guildford median, with around 60% of the commute from London, and expect to work 15 hours a day.
