Pros

- Relatively small company, can establish better relationships with colleagues and directors - Directors/senior management are always friendly and approachable, you can approach them with a concern and they will take it into account - Flexible working (home working, flexible hours etc.) - Decent pay (a bit behind, but nothing major) - Developers have a good amount of autonomy in regards to architecture / implementation of a project (however key elements such as use of Dynamics, mentioned in Cons, are often out of developer's control as they are part of the sale/requirements doc)

Cons

- Heavy focus on scoring projects with dependancies on Dynamics 365 and SharePoint, even in cases where it's not the most practical solution - Not Blacklight specific, however working with Microsoft's cloud business solutions in recent years can be a pain with outdated (or lack-of) documentation and off-putting functionality, especially when looking at extending functionality as a developer - At time of leaving, internal project documentation was fragmented across several wikis and was often out-dated and/or not detailed enough. This was more down to not having the time dedicated to write it. However, I am aware that there was an initative to improve on that around the time I left, so this could have already improved. - There is a chance you'd be spread across multiple projects at a time once you enter your 2nd year of employment, attending 2/3 standups and having to prioritise work between each of them individually. Often a case when you've dipped your toes in a few projects over the past year, change requests come through for said projects and you're assigned based on previous experience with the original project, despite also being on a larger project with a new client (this is based on personal experience, I am aware that not all developers had these experiences so mileage might vary)
