Pros

Nice location, free tea and coffee and free drinks machine. Some good corporate benefits, some lovely people to work with.

Cons

Monotonous work, bullying favouritist management, stressful, overwork, short staffed, micro management, no career progression. Nothing is ever enough. Silent, oppressive working environment. Low pay, expectation that the place is the centre of your world and that you should want to be there every hour there is. Booking even a half day holiday is a drama because of the skeleton staff. Poor technology, convoluted procedures. If you like to see your colleagues on the verge of tears most of the time then work here.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
