Pros

A generally well-organised company with good benefits and the opportunity to work on exciting projects and with interesting and helpful colleagues.

Cons

Several large-scale changes / restructures and frequent changing of my manager made career progression frustrating and at times stressful. However, I'd definitely recommend the company overall as it's an exciting place to work and leads the field.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
