Vantaggi
Culture. The people and the feel of the company are just right. We're all totally in it together. Worst thing is that I'm rubbish at pool, and some people are scarily good. It's nice that it's *okay* to be rubbish though! Lots of social opportunities, but there's no requirement to be a party animal - people take you as you are. Office location (Farringdon/Barbican) - also that I don't have to be in the office all the time. I aim for once a week, sometimes twice. often to co-incide with an evening out. The work is good, but in the consultancy/services side I'm sure this will depend on the customer. So far though - awesome team and meaningful work! Food and tea, coffee, soft drinks available. Beer in the fridge for after work - but no pressure to drink (important for me). Lots of other things - decent training budget, Headspace subscription. Things that aren't *necessary* but which all help.
Svantaggi
One of the meeting rooms is a little chilly at times. Umm... that's it so far! I guess the pension contribution's not that high, so worth ploughing more in - including our bonuses to take advantage of the tax/NI benefit.
