Pros

Provide good equipment. Stacked kitchen with good coffee and ice cream! Good code practices are generally well enforced

Cons

Hire lots of junior developers that's haven't worked in any real developer jobs then don't provide them any training. Startup culture without the startup wages, which doesn't seem to improve much the higher up the chain you get, which will be a big part of why staff turnover is so high. Woke culture... Be careful what you say... Directors seem nice up front but it's all false to try and create a false sense of security. They won't hesitate to turn on you if they aren't getting what they want. Legacy code base. You will get pigeon holed into doing the same stuff day in day out until you are bored to tears. The job is mind numbingly boring...

Pros

A handful of good people doing their best in a difficult environment.

Cons

By far one of the most toxic working environments I’ve encountered. The company relies on an outdated tech stack and operates through entrenched cliques, limiting growth, innovation, and fairness. Junior staff are largely left to sink or swim. Steer clear. Genuinely.

Pros

Incredible benefits including mental health support and long term sickness benefits. Most supportive employer I've ever worked with. I'll miss working with them.

Cons

A fear reinventing their product may be holding them back from taking the lead.
