Pros

The brands are amazing, teams try hard and do some amazing things, there is room for improvements which gives opportunities to work on exciting projects.

Cons

Some people in small areas like to moan rather than get on with making a difference, not as many as before but still a few. Remote working can be a challenge to focus and collaboration.

Pros

Great Support from colleagues, great support from Line manager. Really excelled me technically and gave me lots of opportunities to learn more about different areas in IT.

Cons

Sometimes working with very old, outdated hardware and software. Sometimes felt like putting plasters on bullet wounds. Needed more investment in IT Infrastructure.

Pros

Continually being challenged, new problems to solve every month, lots of freedom to engineer solutions to those problems without micro-management or oppressive oversight.

Cons

Dragged backwards by legacy infrastructure / process, constant effort by Engineering team to tread water in terms of system upgrades and consolidation. Roughly 18 months and one complete restructure into a process of streamlining, and still quite a way off completion. Morale outside the technology department not great due to round after round of redundancies.
