Pros

Very friendly teams all round that you don't feel afraid to ask help or advice from. Great team work all round and nice working environment. Really good company incentives that make you feel part of a community, encouragement from higher management and everyone is treated equally.

Cons

I wouldn't really class this as a con as I like to be constantly engaged with work but like any company there are busy periods with higher volumes of work but at no point does this feel unachievable as there is a vast amount of support and help when needed!
