Pros

A chance to work on some cutting edge projects if your lucky

Cons

A massive blame culture here and management who say that unless you have a learning curve of 150% they will sack you in 3 months. They push staff out who don't conform to the mold which is a geeky backroom engineer with no opinions. Management are secretive, bonus is awful and pay rises worked out using special handshakes and based on which university you went to. A culture of competitiveness exists which makes working there a constant challenge. My advice is to stay well clear of this place. Pay and bonus is awful, I moved companies and got a £10k pay rise and quality of life is far better. No overtime pay either and they expect a 70hour week.
