A great and passionate team that just needs a bit of wayfinding
Pros
• Fantastic team culture – they have a knack for hiring people that get along professionally and personally; I made many lifelong friends working there • Two company conferences/trips every year (when there's no pandemic): one in the summer (abroad) and one in the winter (domestic/UK). These contribute greatly to people from all departments spending time together and getting to know each other beyond the office setting. • A varied roster of clients providing ample opportunity to work on diverse projects with wildly different dynamics and requirements.
Cons
• Not the most competitive salary. • During most of my time, the roadmap for payrises and promotions was ambiguous at best. However, I do know that this is something they are working hard to improve. • It was not uncommon to be put on projects where the client has been promised the moon and stars to be delivered to them within a very short timeframe. While overhours are never expected and definitely not the norm at This Place, projects like this often meant that working late/weekends might be necessary to avoid having to compromise the final delivery.
