Pros

Decent work life balance and some good technologies. But quickly becoming outdated in the market. Average pay but depends on how you negotiate

Cons

Poor leadership, ZERO training and ZERO job safety. All the jobs are being outsourced to one of 2 places -- Poland in Europe and Malaysia in Asia. Only the US has been spared and that is because there is a lot of business in the US and the senior leadership there have a lot of say in how things run. Be very wary of joining the company both in Europe and Asia as you maybe fired at any time just to cut costs. Everything is controlled out of UK and APAC just suffers because the leadership -- a) don't have any clue what's happening on the ground and b) Think that all the trainings and facilities available in UK are the same globally. Poor and pathetic place I've ever worked in
