Pros

Good co-workers, decent benefits, nice location.

Cons

An unpredictable work week with no work-life balance. The work week is usually in the 50-55+ hour range but can be much worse at times. Overlapping projects\tasks to the point where it is not possible to multitask effectively. Flawed resourcing model; PMs, testers, and devs are almost always stuck cleaning up the mess from their previous project so they cannot start their next project on time. Management does nothing to fix the problems that everyone knows exist. There are significant time zone issues to deal with if you are in the London office that add to the long work days. Poor training, low morale; some friendly advice, avoid this company.
