Pros

- Highly experienced project directors - Large client base - Interesting projects using latest tech stacks - Well managed Agile processes on larger projects - Senior dev team are amazingly talented - Management encourage innovation / adoption of new tech stacks - Company will pay for learning courses / events / software if you ask - Great people, friendly environment - Great offices - Salary reviewed at least once per year - Fun social events (Games evening, BBQs, Go-Karting, European trips etc.) - Weekly internal 5-a-side at local Power League - CEO is highly connected

Cons

- Management can be quite firm (but fair) with weaker candidates / weaker work ethics - they don’t always enjoy it - Managers want the team in the offices (although hybrid working exists they are trying to phase it out) - CEO is always very busy - Should increase the frequency of the beer and ice cream deliveries ;-)

Pros

Started last year as a data scientist working on innovation projects. The senior management is very understanding on different employees' individual situation and offering great flexibility and work arrangement in need. They have also managed to attract some big clients showing their professional excellence as a web development & digital marketing company. The CEO is very nice to deal with and my technical director is brilliant, encouraging, understanding. They both know how to empower their employees. The senior devs are very competent and friendly to work with. The company operation manger is also really nice and has resolved all my general inquiries quickly during my employment. The company occasionally has banters in chats which says they are treating employees like family. There are also holiday events that are really fun ways for bringing everyone together to build connections across departments.

Cons

There are sometimes sudden meetings without any schedule/notice leading to occasional stacked workloads and miscommunications. But I believe they are looking to improve this at their best.
