Pros

Good office location in city centre (whilst it lasts) Free bananas

Cons

Total disconnect between senior management and the majority UK offices being shut left right and centre Key work winners being driven away by overly risk averse attitude of senior management No interest in technically challenging (i.e. interesting!) work Staff expected to be 98-100% utilised on project work, no budget for career development activities, business development etc Shambolic attempt at integration following SKM merger (countless SKM have already left only 9 months on) Hugely under funded support services Ridiculously OTT project management systems leading to endless online form filling
