Pros

Nice people, very relaxed atmosphere. They have a lovely office in Poole and some good equipment.

Cons

I asked them to match the offer from my new company and they couldn't because I'd be on more money than the managers. So I feel I had to leave because my managers weren't worth more. It's a shame, because I was making a difference and enjoying it. That work has now gone to waste. Because Netcall don't reward ambitious people, they leave. Nearly all of the managers have worked there for 10-20 years and they're very comfortable. They have no experience of anywhere else. To get a promotion, you'd need to wait for someone to die. They are a sales-driven company. They'd rather make a quick sale than a good product. They don't reward their good engineers.

Pros

Staff easy to work with, everyone is generally pleasant.

Cons

Business seems very reluctant to invest in people - be it hiring, development or something as simple as a company Christmas party. Meanwhile year on year they boast about how well they're doing financially. Employees are continuously expected to do more with less.
