Pros

Good restaurant and employees (below management level) generally sound. Another pro is can get promoted if the type of idiot who enjoys working all night. Although treated like slaves don't beat employees although they might like to - to work you harder.

Cons

Long hours - on my team average 60+ with a lot of all nighters - break Working Time Act all the time. Also break Health and Safety on pregnant workers. Constant monitoring by managers, work the living hell out of you, no training, crap coffee, money poor (avoid funds if starting out). Ignore company literature - no respect for employees, all goals about money and only care about money and send regular emails saying cannot do anything that costs the company money.

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
