Pros

Great people, friendly culture - feeling that you are working for a Company that is maturing from a start up to an established organisation with a bright future . Signing good well known names.

Cons

No significant downsides, be nice to have ability for more independent decision making in UK but controls in place from the States in ensuring messaging is global and uniform which is understandable.

Pros

Rapidly growing business. Clear progression route in sales from junior intern through to AE in 2-3 years if you work hard. Great to find an 'American style' tech company in the rolling hills of Yorkshire, no micromanagement and great people, great wages for area.

Cons

Due to growth some areas have been overlooked - initial onboarding process not great if you don't use your own initiative

Pros

This company offers a fantastic work environment, working alongside some very talented people. The company completely embraces agile practices across all of the offices, and this makes it surprisingly easy to collaborate with your colleagues in other countries. It also means that you have a say in planning out work in each sprint cycle, and deadlines are always realistic - so you feel under just the right amount of pressure. The company is growing really quickly without losing the core standards or company culture. There are lots of opportunities for socialising and working with colleagues in other teams. There is plenty of optional training on offer, and you are given enough support to be able to thrive in your job. The development team benefits from having lots of developers with diverse backgrounds, who have a healthy interest in programming outside the immediate scope of what they're working on. There is lots of intelligent debate around coding standards and solutions, and this ends up being compiled and ratified in an internal development wiki. This, combined with things like peer review and automated testing means that everyone produces really high quality code. When you end up working with these codebases, it's a lot easier and more enjoyable than most of the code I've dealt with in my professional life. It's also really cool that you're given a mac to work on and can take it home for personal use. And the company is flexible on working hours, which makes it far easier to manage things like personal appointments, or having workmen visit your house etc.

Cons

There are a lot of meetings, and not a lot of meeting rooms. It can be frustrating working within the strict limits imposed by the Salesforce/Apex can feel restrictive. You can also feel frustrated by the lack of code-assist features that you get from a rich IDE like Eclipse for Java (e.g. debugging, profiling, refactoring tools, reference/declaration searches etc). You do get used to it, and the platform does give you a lot of advantages so this isn't a big deal really.
