Pros

The culture was relatively relaxed with managers not getting on everyone's case all the time. The teams were small so everyone got a chance to say something.

Cons

Not a lot of work was given to a new joiner, we were just made to sit around and do nothing much during our time. It would have been several months before significant work was given and even then it wasn't very interesting.
