Pros

great team, more flexibility than working in the field , get to my family more , i know how kraken works and feel confident

Cons

Working from home we don't get food allowance like if you was working in the field £5 a day, if you work in an office you get provided free food tea and coffee, home worker like myself don't get anything, but it' not really anything a problem it is just the only con i could think of haha
