Pros

- Great co-workers that are always able to have a laugh. - Great small to medium scale projects centered around health tech - Exposure to challenging technical pieces of work - Management is understanding of personal things and takes steps to help where they can

Cons

- Deadlines are often constructed (not by developers) to pressure developers into working overtime and are not realistic - There is a definite "pressure cooker" mentality with daily standups more to gauge your performance rather than assess blockers etc - Decisions on a lot of UI / UX and user flows are based on feeling and are not well defined which often leads to flip-flopping on counter-intuitive things. The pressure means you work and learn fast and so for those who thrive in these environments it may be worth it to keep you in check

Pros

Therapy Box is dynamic, forward thinking, founder-led tech agency. The founders are passionate about the company and their clients. They have managed to attract some impressive clients and are always ambitiously trying new technologies whether that be eye-tracking, speech recognition, predictive text or machine learning. It's a great place to be exposed to establish a career in tech, by taking on challenges and being exposed to lots of technologies!

Cons

Therapy Box expects a lot from their employees, even Junior developers and Interns who are working on with a specific technology for the very first time. The pressures of a small business to hit targeted milestones, means that projects are built at a rushed pace, which leads to challenge as a Project Manager when it comes to assuring high quality app store ready apps, whilst trying to limiting the amount of time for QA testing in order to deliver products to clients in a timely manner.
