Pros
Mid sized firm with a growing client base, so good opportunities to be exposed to interesting projects. Training available if you ask for it. Get fresh fruits delivered to the office every morning, which is nice.
Cons
Pay below industry levels. Not a very friendly bunch in the London office. People seem to keep themselves to themselves. This probably because of a very top heavy structure. Most of the staff are in the management levels and dump all the work on a few engineers. So people do not really have time other than to complete the heavy workload and head home. And of course the bonuses are only for the people in management. And you have to pay for entry if you want to attend any company social events. So there is no reward for hard work as well. The company is now finding it very hard to retain talent. The company seems to have retained the 'squeeze out every bit you can'culture developed during recession, despite now making profits higher than their targets. Essential processes like QA process of design submissions are generally overlooked or skipped entirely. They do sometimes perform a brief one to tick off boxes but are poorly done.
