Pros
I worked here for a number of years and found the people nice. I was given opportunities and they have helped me.
Cons
Management expect a lot from you for the pay and there is always change, nothing is constant

Some good products and lovely location but quite an old fashioned work ethos

Pros
If you are in the technical team you will never be bored with the range of good products and the training you will receive in learning them. You can also engage in a range of different roles from training to PS and pre-sales. Zycko takes training seriously so you will be well trained whilst you are here. The setting here, in the Cotswold Water Park, is beautiful with lots of lakes to walk/run around at lunchtime, depending on your preference plus some good venues for lunch. If you like in the Cotswolds or west of Swindon Zycko is much closer than having to travel all the way to Bracknell/Reading where most other technology companies are based.
Cons
No real clear career progression. There are some good jobs here but not much in the way of a career. The culture is quite old fashioned, bizarre for a technology company. For example, you are expected to be in the office between 8:30 and 5:30 every day with limited flexbility or working from home options which means that if you have to go home in the afternoon to attend a family emergency you risk losing half a day's pay. Considering that most of the skills in IT are based in the Thames Valley this makes recruitment for Zycko problematic.
