      Pros

      Relaxed atmosphere Flexible working (working from home/working hours) Nice people Nice canteen

      Cons

      As a junior software engineer I've found it to be quite a bad place for anyone starting out in development. There's not enough training or mentoring from senior developers. Most days there's nothing to do and I feel like I'm regressing. Development machines are awful (windows 7!!). There's also too much discussion from project managers about who has to this and that when there should just be more DOing.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
