Pros

Great culture and people. Rapid adoption of cutting edge technology. They trust their employees and provide them significant independence and autonomy

Cons

I am sure this will change but there was a lack of career conversations during my employment which is to no-ones benefit.

Pros

Doing good for people is a huge Pro and the reason many work at JustGiving. The office space is also very cool and funky.

Cons

Certain members of the management team were so desperate to promote themselves and their self interests that the culture and original vision has fallen by the weigh side. There was a series of redundancies of very experienced people that challenged or would challenge the Management Team. You're now left with a core of less experienced 'yes' people. This has impacted the company significantly and you can see that culturally and financially. JustGiving is a shell of its former self.

Pros

Some pros of working at JustGiving (tech department): - Self-managed culture, very light management touch. - Smart people who will not waste your time, while understanding that we're all learning together. - You can use whatever technology you like, as long as you can convince your peers of its value. - Meritocratic - code wins over opinions. - A progressive stance towards new technology options and software delivery practices. - Great benefits, helpful expense procedure. Overall, a very satisfying place to be a software developer if you love your craft, rather than the politics.

Cons

This is a self-managed environment: you have to take responsibility to understand your role in the context of the business and make some magic happen. This does not suit some people who prefer to not to figure things out and rather just take instruction, who will then criticise this environment as 'lacking in management'. JustGiving suits entrepreneurial people.
