Pros

Decent work environment which helps to work with out any pressure, Taking good care for Employees, Conducting entertaining contests.

Cons

Not so much to say about cons. May be not maintaining much documentation. Other than that I feel more satisfied.

Pros

Great work life balance and people are very helpful. Its a good place if you have a degree in non computer science and want to develop you programming skills. Once that is done people have moved on to organisations that offer more. Its for either people that come here to retire or for young people that want to learn computer science.

Cons

No training. Some departments have huge technical debt, particular the warehouse systems. Little or few career progression opportunities, but that is improving. Terrible Terrible office space . No enough toilets!!! In reality has very little money to spend on tool, employee development and facilities.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to write greenfield code and be part of the full project life cycle. Lots of freedom for developers to use new technologies and experiment. Isn't hard to get a job, mainly good for inexperienced graduates.

Cons

Salary is average for a graduate, but pay rises are ridiculously low. After 1 year if you are a dedicated developer and have gained decent skills you can count with a pay rise of at least 20% by going to work to a top notch company in central London. Developers quality is average, maybe a consequence of too many graduates. Although they use Java, you won't find Java Experts. Most people come from other languages background and are only average developers. When project deadlines approach and lots is still left to be finished (because of bad planning and lack of software testing) you will be asked to work longer hours (like Investment Banks), but don't expect a bonus at the end of the year...
