Pros
A great company with great people and management team who understand the value in looking after their staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my time working at EssentialSkillz and resigned and left with a very heavy heart to take up a new position in another company that was just too good an opportunity to turn down. They are a small, very well run, financially stable forward thinking company who will continue to go from strength to strength because not only because of its products and services but it's people as well. I have never worked with a more friendly, capable, quality of service driven group of people in all my years in working and owning businesses.
Cons
Absolutely no negatives whatsoever, great company, great products and services and great work ethos.

Pros
Management - Management at EssentialSkillz have been better than any company I have previously worked for. Being able to express ideas from a new stand point and see higher level actually interested makes you feel like you are part of the entire organisation and not just a number. Staff - I've never seen so many people motivated to work for a company and see people genuinely excited to work on a product that helps customers it is like a big family. Offices - We have two offices with the headquarters being the modern office in Ireland, I work from the Chester office which is lovely and close to everything we need in the UK. Learning - My skills within design and coding have increased tenfold since working here, everyday I'm presented with new challenges which allows me to learn the latest technologies and see them working in live environments. Flexibility - Being able to work from home if I need to is also a massive bonus and trusting staff with this is a really nice thing as well. Just an all round good company to work for.
Cons
None that I can see so far. Maybe we could jazz up the Chester office a little!
