Pros

- The best thing is that the office has a massive gong, the sales team hit it every time they get a new large sale (F.Y.I. the gong is LOUD and EPIC!) - Frequent social outings - There's overall a very positive vibe in the office. - Generous pension scheme (%8 of base salary) - 25 holidays - Shares option - Free fruit & coffee & croissants, ... and more.

Cons

- Long work hours, and most of the staff stay in the office beyond the standard work hours. - Workstations access internet through a proxy. Many websites (e.g. Wikipedia) are blocked. This is done for security reasons, but makes the work very stressful. - BitDefender is installed on all workstations. It scans all I/O operations which makes compiling and searching through code slow. BitDefender also has no problem with quarantining the compiler that I need for work because it deems that it's "a threat". - Focusing on coding can be very difficult because the office can be noisy and coworkers come to your desk to speak face-to-face rather than send an email or IM.

Thanks very much for your feedback, we’re thrilled that you have enjoyed the great benefits and positive buzz of the office! We hope you continue to enjoy working here! And regarding your constructive criticism, this is greatly appreciated. Since your review the business has introduced a more flexible approach to working hours, and will start to allow more regular working from home following a successful trial in the Engineering department. Thank you again for leaving a review. Garrison

Pros

Great product albeit very niche market. Great leadership and UK team.

Cons

U.S. management team very toxic. Severly lacking in soft skills. Management by threat of job loss. Lots of criticism with know idea of how to improve things. Ineffective at creating teamwork or motivating teams. Micro-management like I have never seen before.
