Pros
- Can be as remote as you like. Ideally, they want you in three days per week if you live nearby, or once per month if you live more than 50 miles away - TGIF - The last Friday of every month is a half day - Subsidised travel to the Cambridge office and accommodation nearby - Free drinks and snacks in the office - Regular social events and quarterly sparks - Pay is not bad - Stock options - Smart and friendly coworkers
Cons
- Very few options for career progression - No bonuses. Annual pay rises are mediocre - They may move you around different teams as they like without consulting you and expect you to just go along with it - Very understaffed for their current goals and workload. End of year often gets very crunchy with lots of overtime - Made me redundant based on internal competency results from the previous year without any chance for a reassessment - Vague performance goals and moving the goalposts
