Pros

- Graduate program and training is good (they pay you to train you), after that get out asap. - Fish tanks and free food

Cons

- Legacy stack, all the things you will be working with feels like 1980s - Fire fighting - Things didn't break why fix it - Nothing new and challenging, this is a huge killer for me - Limited tech stack you can use - You don't normally get to choose which team you end up with - The new building is so focus on being cool looking, it forgets that people need quite work space, with enough toilets and non-squeaky wooden floor and private sit down meeting spaces. Yep, that is all that is lacking.
