      A mess

      Pros

      Some good people who try hard but those who stay only do so because they couldn’t cope on a competitive job market.

      Cons

      No direction, no strategy. The technology is basic, with shiny front UI features but nothing else. Customers (commercial and governments) have been let down by poor product offerings, managed badly. The company lost numerous large contracts and is struggling to keep face with empty PR. In truth, there is very little substance to the offering. Their best developers left. Their good young managers also left. The HR team is merely a box ticking function, with little understanding of employee engagement. The office is terrible and the senior executives are in constant disagreement, paralysing the company.

      Friendly international company with amazing employees and below average management

      Business outlook

      Pros

      * proper international environment: employees half Brits, half coming from all corners of Europe and world * international business: lots of customers/representatives visiting the office from all countries * large, appealing building, with a dedicated restaurant at ground floor and lot of space to hang around with colleagues * lost of freedom in picking technologies and development strategies * very skilled people can hike the career ladder quickly

      Cons

      * the direction of the company is not clear to anyone * a lot of people who joined in the early days are still working in the company with relevant career progression but not enough skills compared to the role they cover * some not-so-appealing HR policies are enforced a bit too strictly: no alcohol in the office, many prefer shirts to t-shirts (a bit too corporate) * level of tech is average; not very happy to use bleeding-edge technologies, a lot of tech debt and a good amount of legacy services hanging around

      The pay package does not match the current market value on the job market. Pay raise is low.
