Pros

Amazing culture in the digital team. As developers, we have a lot of autonomy to explore and find the best solutions. Members are from culturally diverse background and are a class of their own, in terms of technical capability. I have heard horror story about the previous development team and manager but rest assured that this team was built from scratch (after previous dev team left, along side with the "bad" manager). All of us were recruited since last year, and we have a lot of exciting development projects already happening, with a clear view about the future. Decent technical stack. CI/CD pipelines maintained by developers with automated tests & a relentless focus on software quality/craftsmanship, especially on newer projects. Management are from hardcore engineering environment (former IRESS people) and understand the value of good software. Good work-life balance, your manager and peers will NOT expect you to work long hours. On the contrary, we sometimes get kicked out by our boss at the end of the day when we enjoy the technical problems too much. We look out for each other well, and are very nice people! Startup kinda culture in a stable corporate environment. The best of both worlds.

Cons

Atm, we are quite under resourced so you will be expected to wear many hats. If you are very locked on or zealous about a particular technology stack or a side of the system (frontend/backend), this may not be the right job for you. Team members have a focus/preference/strength in either frontend or backend but are expected to have a basic to good understand in both (depending on role). Lots of autonomy and trust, which may not work well if you are someone who requires a lot of explicit instructions.

Pros

Skeleton staff means we have a lot of work to do which is great for learning and developing your skills and knowledge. Flexible work environment and great team.

Cons

Salary is a key issue with Greencap, as staff are paid less than the industry dictates. Greencap's focus on being 'Best in Class' seems to ignore the staff they already have by not rewarding the hard working and skilled staff they already have. Lots of quality technical staff were let go seemingly because they were expensive, leaving a gap between management and the consultants. And the incentive scheme is a shamble.

Pros

Greencap is in the middle of an exciting period of change, meaning my team is driving some great initiatives to future-proof the HR function and broader Greencap business. My role is super-varied and there's never a dull moment! I can put my hand up to take the lead on projects and my manager enables me, offering the support I need to be capable to take the lead on projects that might be new to me. Very engaging!

Cons

We are embarking on change because there are some out-of-date things that need to change. This includes some of our systems and processes and it can be a bit frustrating to need to work with old systems, but we have been shown the 'promised land' in how our systems ecosystem will work, eventually. Patience, perhaps, is not my strength! I look forward to migrating away from our legacy technology.
