      Pros

      Good working hour. Not too much over time. Nice manager and team members. Good location and a lot of choice for lunch.

      Cons

      No pension plan. Only 401K. Bonus is small compare to competitor. For AVP and below all sit in very small cubical. For VP and above sit in office, but two people share one office even for Director or MD title.

      Pros

      Resume building. One of few companies to offer a pension

      Cons

      The want to be bulge bracket but pay the minimum they can. They offer salary + "addition fixed pay" + tiny bonus. The effect of this is that they avoid UK taxes on bonuses, but do not need to commit to raising actual base pay and benefits based on it. Salaries have not be raised in IT for 3 years. Also by giving everyone "addition fixed pay" it reduces the abillity to differentiate between A and C employees. Raises in total comp to top employees was less than 2% for some departments -- not much different than C employees; Why work hard if there is no possibility of reward?
