Pros

• Amazing people • Learned a lot in a short space of time • Autonomy to pursue projects how you see them • Interesting and exciting topic matter, B2B finance is a challenge • Decent perks such as food, beer, trips away etc. • Lovely place as a whole and do recommend going there, especially for the learning.

Cons

• Frugality. Hard to make an impact when projects are cancelled because they incur a modest amount of spend. • This attitude translates into pay and career progression. Very hard going getting a pay rise. The phrase " you're at/above the market rate" used quite a lot, irrespective of tenure or ability. •Lots of young people in management roles and lots of shiny objects chased after, hard to maintain focus and keep resources on track.

Pros

Stable hours, consistent schedule, decent health benefits for full-time employees, good coworker camaraderie on the floor

Cons

Management is disconnected from day-to-day operations, advancement feels slow and political, high turnover makes it hard to build a solid team, pay doesn't reflect the workload
