Pros

Amazing culture Very knowledgable people Good working hours Flat hirarchy Amazing benefits Gym, Dry cleaning, canteen, hairdresser, FREE GP!! and more in the office you work at! No one shouts or curses at eachother (nothing like the movies)

Cons

They don't promote developers unless you go into management. They are actively working on it, but they have been for 2-3 years now. As most firms, they have started focusing hires in non-metro areas

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
