Pros

To be honest there are no benefits that are not available at any other software company. Free kitkats is about all I can think of. (they got rid of free drinks and biscuits btw!)

Cons

You have to sign a waiver against your EU rights to not work more than 40 hours a week. Being a Software Engineer you are required to work at least 40 hours often ~50 and the salary is only £28k.
