Pros

Worked in KPF London for over 1 year. No pros really other than it's convenient location to get to.

Cons

It's completely a toxic working environment. It's not a friendly place with closed minded managers who have worked there for many years to become a furniture of the company and have no idea at all how to manage the projects. They are in a big downturn wit this mismanagement. No work-life balance. Don't expect any day to leave on time at 6pm. Be well prepared for last minute changes to keep you working 24/7....overtime working is a constant culture in KPF. You have to be so brave to leave on time then get ready to be pointed and gossips behind you.
