Pros

* Some nice projects and teams * WFH is nice if that's your thing * Lots of training materials and sessions * Far, far better than being at a 'big consultancy' * Nice salary and pension for the location

Cons

* Limited range of clients and staff seemingly on the bench for extended periods * Difficult to engage in group sessions and activities if you are on a busy project. Seeing all the activities going on in Teams whilst you could be on a stressful project is not fun to say the least * Clients using older more conservative technology choices (Jenkins , Java, Spring,...) Felt like going back to 2010 again * Microsoft Teams 🤮

Good company but bad projects

Pros

Salary and perks are good

Cons

Company is good but clients don't know how to work in an agile way and efficiently. I know where my tax payer money is being wasted now and why government projects fail so badly.
