Pros

Great kitchen, lounge, food and entertainment facilities. You can use any sort of equipment for your software development needs. A lot of talented developers there who you can learn from if you are at a junior or mid-level position. Great support from IT and Infrastructure teams. Good banter in the tech department. A fairly generous training / conference budget.

Cons

The legacy code base is not being dealt with pro-actively. Business priorities are constantly changing; resulting in dev teams changing tack with projects or having to shelve other pieces of work, which can be demoralizing. Quads system seems to add more bureaucracy than solving the fundamental issues of cross team collaboration. A lot of pseudo-science business and management concepts are creeping in.

Pros

Opportunity to work with some great people, and have fun while doing your job. The offices are fantastic, in that sense the staff are looked after. It is a great place if you are newly out of university, or looking to make a leap from Junior to midweight.

Cons

Too many politics. Its quite a passive aggressive atmosphere from exec and management and too much of a laddish culture which is quite off putting if you don't want to go down the pub every night. There is an inability to let people who are capable do their job and a lot of interference from higher up the business. There are clearly trust and control issues from management to teams. There are a few exceptions at this level, but they fighting a constant battle. If you want to progress to a senior level or beyond, and your still relatively young (but clearly capable), you will be met with unexplained barriers and little is done in terms of support to progress. At times, there is too much style over substance in new hires and probably too many junior people in the company.

Pros

I recently interviewed and got a job at Moo. I was impressed with the speed and communication by everyone involved in the process. In total from first contact to an offer was less than a week. Everyone was helpful and friendly. There were two rounds of interviews - an initial meeting with the head of the team followed by a live code test (challenging but good) and questions from the team I ended up joining. After the offer everything was communicated to me clearly and in detail. I've been working at Moo now for four weeks and really enjoying the company. It has a small startup feel to it even though it is now relatively large.

Cons

None so far - probably only gripe is that there are more meetings than I was used to in a small startup - trying to find the balance is tough.
