Pros

The sheer amount of technical knowledge among the engineers in this company is astounding. It is a very rewarding place to work as an engineer. The goal of the company is Good. I feel like I am contributing to society in a positive way. The company cares deeply about its employees. Paid leave, internal reviews, career growth, diversity and inclusivity are all major concerns for management.

Cons

Salary is not extremely competitive (but also not particularly low) There are some internal international politics. It can be hard to get some things done if you're not in the UK/European space.
