Pros

Great software and people. Free drinks, snacks, nights out. Unstructured environment allows people to move up based on ability and contribution.

Cons

Could benefit from a bit more structure. Around half of the staff work remotely so it takes a while before you meet everybody.

Pros

Colleagues made this job worth while.

Cons

The entire codebase is a mess and hard to work with. Developers spend more time replying to support tickets regarding buggy aspects of the products than actually developing code. The company meetings drag on for hours which eats into precious time which could be used fixing problems or criticals (of which there are at least one a week). There is a playstation kicking around somewhere but the CEO has said it isn’t to be set up. There are very very few senior developers at this company so the opportunities to learn are limited.
