Fantastic individuals and the right company brand but upper management are out of touch with employees

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great highly technical environment with some very skilled individuals and also a large number of off-shore onsite developers make for a great place to learn and breed skills. The Children's Services sector is great to work in as well, company benefits are very good in comparison to others, location in Bedford is beautiful surrounded by a river and lake and the office while cramped is clean and modern as is the equipment.

Cons

Cramped offices, too many key staff leaving who had amassed a lot of experience and not enough communication or transparency at all levels.

The ship is sinking and we have run out of life rafts

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great environment, highly technical individuals and a great multicultural working environment. In-House Training and access to Training such as Pluralsight. New Development Head and faces have improved prospects however too many key people have left (and are leaving) meaning there is a huge bleed out of knowledge that won't come back.

Cons

Management too focused on numbers and not the people. Departmental snobbery, communication issues, no visible governance. Sinking Ship Syndrome: key people leaving consistently through the year. Too political and a lot of cliques within the organisation that shouldn't really exist. Sometimes acts like a new company rather than an established one and career progression is confusing.
