Pros

None, I could not see how this business was viable, both in terms of the product, and the way it was run.

Cons

Changed both my role and my benefits without telling me, prior to me starting. Did not read the induction pack my manager had given me, then told me off for following the guidelines regarding flexibility in there. Did not seem to care that myself and my manager were putting in lots of extra hours. There was a veneer of good communication but essentially it was poor. I left as I was very concerned about the ethics of some tasks I was asked to perform.

Pros

A start-up company full of people at the peak of their career, a great place to be if you're looking to learn about the UK tech industry and meet some amazing people. I wasn't working at Cocoon long due to clashes with my personal life but I believe I've met people that I'll know for the rest of my life! I still keep in touch with management and every time I have a problem I email Colin who can help out with advice and recommendations. Sanjay is also brilliantly clever and again is the perfect person to go to if you have any commercial related queries.

Cons

Being a start-up company Cocoon look for hard workers (that doesn't mean they treat you with any disrespect what-so-ever) but it does mean that you have to be confident in your abilities!
