Pros
Unbeatable river-side location in Richmond. Very close to high street with an excellent range of restaurants and food shops to suit all budgets. Certainly feels posh but not arrogant. People are extremely nice and most of them are very approachable. Depending on the team, people's backgrounds can be diverse. And if you're lucky, your role may allow you broad interaction with international folks and even travel!
Kontras
Very top-heavy. Progression is very limited. Once you get in a at a certain (low) level, it's very hard to climb up. The same senior folks get promoted time after time and you see lots of really high-achieving individuals not recognised. Does make you wonder what they're doing about high departure rates of the best people. It's sad really. Lots of red tape. Lots of talk. Not much really done. The company tries to be innovative but unfortunately is always playing catch up with other American companies.
