Pros

- Great social events (almost too many), alcohol fuelled friday lunches - Friday afternoon personal innovation time - Everyone in it together ... - Work with some new technologies - AWS cloud stuff - New dev shakeup seems to actually have worked and now can innovate - Nice working environment - Great location

Cons

- Full focus on mobile app (for 4 years) that still isn't selling - Ignoring the old legacy networks that are the only things making money - Old legacy telco stuff is naturally dying off across the industry - Ignoring some new technologies that could help like docker, etc - Unreliable old owner that will back something then change his mind in a month without remembering - Owner is streamlining the company with multiple redundancies - maybe in order to sell? - CTO is new to the company and if it's not in the cloud then it's dead - Don't fill in the supposedly anonymous surveys - they are tagged by small department and can identify people - Not enough toilets

Pros

This place was by far one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of working.

Cons

Everything about that place was great! Simply because they value the employees opinion and will make whatever adjustments needed to accommodate each and every person.

Personally, to me, I think it was the salary at the start
