Pros

Energetic, interesting initiatives from the US parent.

Cons

Highly political in most areas. If your face fits then you are okay. Most senior staff are busy telling themselves they are much better than they actually are.....

Pros

* Work life balance is good. Flexible 9-5 hours * Compensation is OK * Friendly people

Cons

* Work is very dull, not interesting and filled with horrible corporate process and red tape. As a result, you won't be able to learn much as an engineer. * Engineers in london are not given the same support as the Nottingham counterparts. * Performance management is completely unfair. You are not rewarded on you're technical ability and delivery but on how well you sell yourself to senior managers. * HR is very unhelpful, non responsive and their only interest is to protect the company. * Hiring is also very biased as well. Again people who are all talk but no substance get hired while actual talented engineers are not taken into consideration. This results in many hires having imposter syndrome.

Pros

The people "appeared" to be nice and some of the buildings are cool on the inside

Cons

They weren't actually nice. They'd stab you in the back as long as it made them look good. Their objectives are unclear. My boss was never around and barely even knew how to do her job. They hired on people with very little experience who didn't really know what they were doing. Those same people they hired on admitted that some important info wasn't taught to us, yet they still fired people for not knowing what they were doing. They treat the contractors very poorly, like they don't belong there and aren't allowed to be part of things. A lot of the people there were just awful at their jobs. A lot of the people who were awful at their jobs got promotions.
