Pros

LOTS of benefits, great culture, opportunities to progress but base salary could be more competitive. Great healthcare, can get same-day appointments on site, free dental cover, therapy, physio, etc. Generally great work life balance and flexibility but can depend on specific role/department. Also get £12 / day food credit at the Brighton office and all subsidised

Cons

Can be a bit behind with decision making, systems, data etc as so big.
