Pros

- Central London location - Some benefits like provided lunches - Nice coworkers - Will develop strong sense of independence and self-sufficiency - The client work and writing R&D technical narratives are very interesting

Pros

My manager is very supportive in a very difficult job environment, and js helping me move off of contract work and getting me to full-time.

Cons

SRs information security policy is a bit intense and impractical for us, but I guess is needed to keep data safe. There have been many times I have had to call IT support to help because I didn't put in the password correctly the first time.
