Pros

Some incredibly talented individuals across the business. Driven and open management who try to keep everyone informed as much as possible. Excellent team mates who are really passionate about what they work on - which makes a good working environment. Everyone's feedback is valid and everyone has the chance to voice their opinions. The senior management team are totally across everything that's going on which is so refreshing to see and they're really supportive when it comes to trying new things.

Cons

The company has been through tough times and changes really quickly to try to stay ahead which means that people who have been at the company for a while can feel unsettled. I would say that if you're the sort of person who likes 'to grab the bull by the horns' and love working at lightning pace then this company would be great for you to get stuck in. But not for those looking for an easy ride.
