Pros

- excellent people with some genuinely amazing engineers to learn from - pretty generous conference budget - exposure to a range of tech and industries - amazing office tea/coffee/snack

Cons

- a lack of long term ownership over projects inherent in working at a services company - pay is on the low side - lack of structured on boarding as a junior meant it was very sink or swim. This works for some and not for others - experience is somewhat luck of the draw based on projects. Some are amazing, others are… not. - I could never put my finger on the cause, but even by tech standards there’s a real lack of gender diversity in engineering
