Pros

You have a lot of freedom when it comes to features you want to work on. Most of the people are extremely friendly. Free lunch is a good perk. "No rush" mindset. Some managers are awesome.

Cons

Tools and frameworks are archaic. The company is aspiring to be equivalent of FANG from Silicon Valley but lacks engineering excellence. It's hard to be recognized if you don't constantly brag on how awesome you are. Some discussions are endless and it could take months to rollout bigger feature. Ambitious projects with mediocre execution.

Pros

A great environment with fantastic colleagues. Since day one you fell part of a big family.

Cons

Company is growing fast and there is a shifting from quite old technologies to more modern ones. This implies that at the beginning you will find yourself working with old technologies and quite outdated methodologies. However, things are changing quite rapidly and the company is encouraging them.

Pros

I've worked at some of the biggest tech companies in the North West of England and for me Rentalcars is up there with the best of them. Fantastic place to work both from a cultural and happiness perspective and from a work/career perspective. The ambition of Rentalcars through growth knows no bounds. I'm currently working in one of the ventures inside Rentalcars.com and so far it's been a whirlwind of an experience. You're given an opportunity to grow yourself and contribute to the business in a big way from recruitment to working on any of the platform you should wish. Work hard and bring big benefits to this business and you'll receive your just desserts.

Cons

None I can think of right now.
