Pros
- Friday bbq - Free fitness Bootcamp - Opportunity to work in other countries - Personal + Professional development budget - Most people are friendly
Cons
- Salary: TS pay lower than industry rates and trying to get a pay raise for hard work is a painful task. You will constantly be given the run around and told to 'wait a bit longer'. People complain about it all the time but the situation never seemed to change. - Long hours: It was normal to see people staying back until 7-8pm to finish their project work and it seemed to be almost accepted as a normal thing by the company. ie no action seemed to be taken to ensure people were out of the office at a healthy time . - Poor career development : Little to no mentoring of junior devs. Not much in the way of passionate tech leads/seniors advocating new and exciting tech for the teams to use. Every project seemed like a case of the 'same old same old' to meet deadlines. Felt like tech leads were more busy in meetings with clients than actually tech leading.
