Pros

Interesting leading edge technology, really bright colleagues, a great place to progress and very attractive rewards. Immense flexibility and free Vimto.

Cons

A lack of effective management, inability to enforce coding standards, group politics and a lack of focus reduce what should be an excuse to excel to a moderately underperforming company. A lack of hard technical training prior to action slows projects. A lack of teamwork.
