Pros

great company culture. people are very kind and helpful. they don't kick you down when you make a mistake but help you improve. 9.30-5.30 working hours. leicester square central london office.

Cons

pay is less than industry standard. no cafeteria or food options such a breakfast or snacks provided which could offset the cost of living in london. tech is quite outdates or refurbed laptops are still dodgy.
