Pros

Great people with a friendly atmosphere. The work is consistently interesting and you're encouraged to develop and express your own ideas. A lot of the systems and algorithms are developed in house which gives you a lot of ability to change things, provided you're prepared for a challenge! Good work life balance and fantastic travel benefits, the office is a nice working environment too.

Cons

There isn't a huge amount of accountability and so things can tend to drag on as no-one's got a big incentive to push things. Also no-one ever seems to get fired, which though unpleasant is sadly necessary sometimes. Also the pay isn't great, but this is offset by the staff travel benefits and work/life balance.
