Pros

It's a good working environment with very friendly people

Cons

- a lot of office politics - near impossible to progress if you actually try hard at your job as its seen as a big loss to your current role. - Progression is only offered when you try to leave. - A lot of dead weight who don't know what they're doing.

Pros

- Decent remuneration and generous bonuses - Flexible and sensible about working time - Small enough that your voice can be heard - Producing decent product and revenues - Working hard to develop talent

Cons

- Sometime a bit of the 'old boys club', 'drinking through lunchtime' culture - Moving in size from a small org to a large one, and finding it hard to manage that shift - Over-reliance on contractors
