Pros

Absolutely love working here - it's super flexible, I get a really good work/life balance - no micromanagement - trusted to get on with things, but fully supported throughout. I feel like I can get stuck in with things and I'm always learning! Love the office and have a really solid team. Really non-corporate and casual.

Cons

Fewer extra employment benefits than some other companies, but as it's not corporate here that's to be expected.
