Pros

Flexible working, interesting technical challenges, some great co-workers, pay quite good but mediocre extras.

Cons

Terrible middle management, hopeless at inspiring, they just want to micromanage, too many meetings, hard to get much work done. Obsessed with diversity and inclusion, yet management are opaque untrusting and even repressive towards unfavoured engineers. Not surprising very high number of experienced engineers leaving in recent years.
