Pros

- Good on-boarding process - Strong internal tools and documentation - Frequent trips to Stockholm - Healthy food and snacks (free)

Cons

- The Stockholm office is where the interesting work happens - The London office is very new, doesn't reflect the the main HQ culture - Not a good place for BIPOC.
