Pros

Friendly culture - "small company" kind of feel Everyone is very willing to help Very open to people changing roles Weekly sync-ups with management Use of Agile/Scrum makes lots of processes quite democratic

Cons

Terrible at training graduates who don't already have a maths/computer science background. Very bad at training people for whom "on-the-job" training is not suitable. Very male dominated environment, very little diversity. Nearly everyone is an Oxbridge-educated, obsessed with Runescape type, with a Maths degree. Too much legacy technology Very slow salary increases Too London-centric Offices very tired looking (this is about to change with the new Enfield building) Not enough customer feedback gets back to Engineering

Pros

The people are very nice and if your into upper class hobbies then this place is perfect for you.

Cons

It is full of oxbridge grads who know nothing about coding or computer science and profess to know everything because of where they studied. When I raised this to the recruitment team, they pretend to know all about diversity yet this does not translate at all on the graduate intake or wider teams as it is all very white washed. Their schemes for “diversity” are purely to look good - they make sure never to include these kinds of people in their workforce, just look at their videos. It’s a shame because the main UK office is in such a multicultural area.
