Pros

The team in Manchester are great. Super smart and friendly engineers, focused on building the best products to meet our customers needs. The location is unbeatable, with everything Manchester has to offer on the doorstep and outstanding transport links. The senior management team do a great job of giving direction (what is needed and why), without dictating execution (how to deliver, and how the team should run). This has allowed those of us at the Manchester location to build an ethos that feels more like a startup, whilst maintaining the job security, growth prospects and influence of a large company

Cons

None. I've never had a role I've enjoyed more.
