Pros

Positive working atmosphere - people help each other out, no prima donnas Smart colleagues - the standard overall is by some way the best I've ever had in a workplace. it's a great place to learn Sensible work/life balance - the emphasis is on sustainable work, no-one is expecting any death marches I find the day-to-day work interesting and challenging - we are trying to get and stay ahead of others in our sector, so things don't stay still for long Great location It's growing, so there are opportunities for those who might want to end up managing others Solid business model - I think the company is very well placed for the short/medium term (which is as far ahead as I care to predict) Decent pay Reasonable selection of soft drinks, although I am still not sure whether Diet Lilt should have made the cut

Cons

Security concerns mean home working is off the menu. Not a problem for many, but a major drawback for me It's growing, so it's not as small as it was - not a problem for me, but some might prefer a sub-100-employee type setup

Pros

The barristas are good if you're in the main office. The hybrid days are pretty good, with 10 days per month WFH.

Cons

Well the layoffs (3rd February 2023) were pretty bad. Didn't affect me directly but plenty of friends/colleagues were. They were all asked to resign and given a small payoff and NDA. There are *far* too many managers. The company has grown massively in the last 5 years but it has disproportionately been middle management, many of whom are pretty awful and totally disconnected from the people they see as interchangeable cogs who they treat like idiots. Re: Diversity. It's pretty exclusively white men. They do sponsor some women in tech events but that hasn't changed the hiring mix. Tech. It's all Windows except some of the very new stuff which has just started moving to Linux/k8s, but everything desktop/laptop is 100% locked down Windows. I guess you decide if that's a con.

Pros

-Great teams and staff with a fairly good sense of community and 'all being in the same boat' to a certain level. -Wide ranging technology stack with exposure to exciting and new software and infrastructure -Lower and Middle management have been some of the best I have worked with.

Cons

A return to office policy that can only be described as bizarre in the middle of a global pandemic and the country ploughing towards lockdown. Over the past year it feels as if the company has transitioned into a hugely authoritive organisation where it's the employee base vs the executive management team. The company has been hugely productive whilst being remote
