Pros

The company is maturing and is well placed in the market space. Takes a grown up attitude to individuals at work - really allows employees take ownership and responsibility for role and job function. Comparable benefits but great flexibility to work from home. London office in great location for drinks and social life too!

Cons

Some struggles with development, limited size of regional offices mean upward mobility and career development can be limited - despite company initiative for everyone to have an IDP
