Pros

- Friendly team in UK office - Fun team get-togethers in Brighton - Talented people around, even if you don't get enough time to discuss with them

Cons

Pressure from the top to get projects done asap, with little regard for sustainability. Failure to break projects down into stages with internal releases. That sets the teams up for failure when there are inevitably bugs being found at far-too-late a stage Senior management do not ensure they get feedback from teams. Everything is filtered through middle management. Leads to poor decisions such as porting the legacy app to an entirely new one rather than decomposing it piece by piece.

Pros

Remote work, and maybe a cool backpack or a new manager that realizes how toxic things are and leaves right away making a statement for others to follow 👍💪

Cons

Toxic environment. Lack of leadership and incompetent interim roles constantly being filled. Steady financial decline.

We are sorry to hear that your personal experience wasn’t all that we would want it to be. Our broader employee feedback is positive to strong, and describes an environment that is collaborative, customer-centric, and hard-working . While acknowledging that, like all companies, there are some areas where we have room for improvement, of course. We take pride in having experienced leadership across the board, and a strong team in India that contributes hugely to our ongoing success. We also take pride in being financially sound, with a clear path to ongoing growth.
