Pros

One of the very few tech. job opportunities in Cambridge

Cons

1. Employee motivation and morale at its nadir after the recent layoff. 2. Management is direction-less. 3. This month hordes of recent graduate engineers have been hired taking on the roles of where experience is essential. Overall a belt-tightening scheme under th guise of other 'motives'. All the recent UK recruitment is to satisfy the conditions of Softbank sale. No idea when they'll be laid off. Lots of current employees looking for exits. 4. Last but not theleast, this is the company with the lowest pay/compensation among peer tech companies in UK. Even within the company, in the same grade, the difference in salaries between an UK employee and a US employee is considerable.
