Pros

Fantastic people working in the company and always a pleasure to deal with. Great sense of team spirit in a workplace that is very high pressure. All managers and directors are very approachable and welcoming of input and feedback. If you put yourself out there you will get stuck into some fantastic, challenging, projects.

Cons

Sometimes can be long working hours, however this is not enforced by management, it is down to yourself. Office politics can occur like any other workplace.
