Pros

friendly co-workers, managers who see themselves not as something higher but someone who can't be without their team, "london bonus" aka 6% of your salaray as little extra because living in London is so expensive, lots of free stuff from your own department as well as the others (food and non-food!)

Cons

unorganised hr, confused managers who depend on their team rather than their own brains, can't leave your desk until your work is done (and you're not being paid by hours, so working over time doesn't get paid), some days it's boring - then other days you get a heart attack from the stress because someone else screwed up/didn't tell you in time.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
