Pros

Nice office setup Interesting and diverse projects. You get the chance to work on international projects

Cons

No future if you are not from Britian (or at the very least from the Commonwealth) If you are a minority or an international, there is very limited chance that you can get promoted beyond senior engineer. Low salary compared to their competitors Lay off happens frequently. relation between management and staff is not genuine and honest

Pros

Great company with lots of good benefits, interesting large scale projects, and a fantastic team of people to work with.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, overnights and weekends at times. At the end of the day, it is a consulting firm so the clients needs will always come first over employee health and wellbeing.
