Pros

Plenty of smart people and an environment that generally encourages learning. Good allowances for flexible working. Fairly interesting work.

Cons

Extremely cliquey culture. If you're on the outside, your opinion means nothing and you'll never get anywhere. Salaries are well below average, despite "competitive" claims. Complaints/concerns aren't taken seriously. People who consistently cause problems or make for an unpleasant working environment are allowed to continue acting as they like so long as they're seen to be performing well for the company. Pension scheme isn't great, and there are no bonuses at all, despite the company repeatedly having "record breaking years".

Pros

- Fully remote is a real plus for a lot of people - Some very talented and likeable people, one of the main benefits working here - Varied clients and projects, doesn't get boring

Cons

- Recent rounds of redundancies have made an unstable culture with a lot of fear around job security - Reluctant to implement changes or invest in new tools which are essential to the job - Career progression seems to be on hold despite so many leavers - A lot of good ideas get thrown about, but it feels like an eternity to see changes actually happen
