Pros

- 4 day work week

Cons

- Compensation packages are not competitive. - There is a visible preference for leadership to be surrounded by those who don't challenge the status quo. - The relentless focus on delivery targets has led to a "feature factory" environment where quality is sacrificed for speed. - Tech leadership is ideologically committed to replacing human coding and peer reviews with AI. Great for AI enthusiasts, but demoralizing for traditional software engineers. - Professional suggestions often hit a wall if they don't align with the personal agendas of favoured groups.

Hey! Thanks for leaving your review on Atom. It's great to hear you enjoyed your Internship with Atom, we encourage bringing in junior hire to grow with the business and it's great to hear you enjoyed working with the team. We're in the process of developing our junior hire training scheme and are hoping to use this to continue our great, previous success we've had in developing juniors in the business!
