Pros

The only real pro is the high salary. The London offices are nice too, but so are all corporate offices.

Cons

The lack of work-life balance. The literally 24/7 work expectation. The passive aggression you have to deal with when after waiting around all evening for something which hasn't arrived, you dare to leave at 10pm, only for a non-urgent email to arrive at 11pm, meaning you deal with it in the morning. How unhappy everyone clearly is in their jobs, but no one can admit to themselves/each other that they are just there for the money, so there is a fake bubbly-ness of people pretending to like it.
