Pros

Great culture - friendly & relaxed but professional & focused, supportive & collaborative whilst being challenging & competitive. Great people - sounds cheesy but a "no arseholes" hiring policy really seems to work! Great benefits - fantastic health & wellness programme including lots of free training classes, yoga classes, etc + food. Fast growing company, with all the feel good factor and careers opportunities that you'd expect from that.

Cons

Really struggle to come up with any significant cons
