Pros

I could never fault the regular staff. Very hard working teams, very friendly and incredibly helpful. The Academia offering to customers at the time was very competitive and compelling. Small office meant that you knew almost everyone and you knew what they did and how they could help you.

Cons

For a small company change was pathetically slow. I echo the sentiments of another review referring to only making money I'm certain teams. I don't remember a sense of urgency to improve glaring gaps or rooms for growth. Very little strategic thinking from "management". Never understood why certain instructions were handed down. Knowing the management as I did it doesn't surprise me that they'd do something as dodgy as writing fake reviews.
