Pros
This was a great place to work and grow as a person.
A start-up company full of people at the peak of their career, a great place to be if you're looking to learn about the UK tech industry and meet some amazing people.
I wasn't working at Cocoon long due to clashes with my personal life but I believe I've met people that I'll know for the rest of my life! I still keep in touch with management and every time I have a problem I email Colin who can help out with advice and recommendations.
Sanjay is also brilliantly clever and again is the perfect person to go to if you have any commercial related queries.
Cons
Being a start-up company Cocoon look for hard workers (that doesn't mean they treat you with any disrespect what-so-ever) but it does mean that you have to be confident in your abilities!
