Pros

Free lunch, relatively high salary for the location. Very sociable colleagues with lots of (unofficial) meals, pub nights etc. Relaxed atmosphere with flexible working hours.

Cons

Poor management with no structure in place. New employees are left to get on with it with little training. Large number of interns taken on each summer to relieve full time employees for holiday, however at one point more interns than full time staff, so quite challenging to deal with. Lots of old, unmaintainable code with little effort in the way of refactoring/improving the codebase. Very few "new projects" exist. Management and sales staff reap benefits and large bonuses from work done by developers - quite demoralising

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. You sum things up very succinctly with those 5 words! There have indeed been some big changes across the business, but we try to maintain our agility and speed where we can, but it isn't always easy. I hope you took the opportunity to share your views during our engagement survey in the last few weeks. Either way, we are always open to getting feedback so if you have anything else you wish to share, or ideas to keep some pace and agility, or anything else for that matter, you can speak to your leadership team member, or drop us an email at Peopleteam@netcraft.com
