Pros

- knowledgeable colleagues - work-to-life ratio very good - friendly staff - company events - xbox

Cons

- fingerprint scanning on entry and exit of building and an internal application where each employee one must login time spent on each task to the minute everyday - camera in the canteen only and some colleagues were complaining of management tracking the time they take everyday to have coffee - 'idle chat' with fellow colleagues is considered a waste of time even if for a few minutes - toilet visits are to be kept to a minimum, especially after the break due to management thinking that these are a waste of time - The amount of internal Skype chats is tracked - infrastructure needs taking care of - no ventilation mechanism in the office results in unhealthy rates of carbon dioxide

Pros

High-level skill set amongst employees with frequent knowledge sharing events. Great work atmosphere with frequent appraisals and support from management.

Cons

Working for a big company might be intimidating however the management's close contact with their employees always ensured this to be a non-issue.
