      Pros

      • Extremely supportive work environment for new employees (even when working from home). • Night-shift has access to refreshments and a meal at no extra cost to the employees. • Plenty of extra benefit schemes that greatly improve quality of life in the event of a cost of living crisis. • A healthy amount of breaks to ensure the well-being of employees. • You get to work with some of the most impressive individuals in the industry, not to mention the outstanding technology behind the projects.

      Cons

      (These cons are completely subjective, I myself do not have an issue with these things) • Repetitiveness. • Surrounding area can be challenging to find housing.
