Pros

Good office location. Laid back environment. Met and worked with some great individuals. Free sandwiches on wednesdays and thursdays but if you don't eat pork you will be disappointed. Dominoes on thursdays. Nandos on fridays.

Cons

The owner thinks he's some sort of king, he doesn't speak to anybody apart from his "mates". You'll probably have to be up his butt to get a hello. Management only care about making owner happy and wealthier. Career progression? Never heard of that here. Management are a bunch of old boys with ancient ideas and methodology. Instead of retiring or moving on they'd rather stay and have employees working like slaves and lab rats while they spend money at pubs and on nights out.

Pros

- Exposure to interesting projects and fast-paced work. - Opportunities to gain hands-on experience and develop resilience. - Great colleagues who are keen to support and collaborate within teams.

Cons

- Long working hours make work-life balance challenging. - Projects are frequently high-pressure, with tight deadlines and a strong sense of urgency. - Many teams operate with limited staffing relative to workload demands, which creates pressure and challenges in delivery. - Management practices and communication could be improved, employee concerns are not always acknowledged, decision-making is often centralised, and accountability for poor decisions is limited, which can create challenges for staff. - There is a tendency toward micromanagement with a stronger focus on results and output rather than the quality of work or long-term improvement. - Employees may feel discouraged from raising concerns, as feedback is often perceived as personal criticism rather than an opportunity for improvement. - Opportunities and recognition may not always feel consistent across teams. - Career progression is limited - though many individuals are put into leadership roles but still have limited authority to make decisions. - Onboarding could be more structured, as new joiners often find it difficult to get clarity on processes and expectations. - Project requirements are sometimes unclear, which can create confusion across teams. - Additional technical guidance from leadership would help improve alignment and delivery.
