Where are we trying to go?

Pros

Smart people, lots of focus on personal development. It feels like there's a lot of potential in some of the product portfolio.

Cons

Where are we going exactly? It all feels a little rudderless, maybe even desperate? Lots of talk about being cloud native when we simply aren't and we're a decade late to the PaaS party and we're talking about it like we're innovators?

Pros

The company culture is unique in my 30 years experience of working in software in the Midlands. It's (almost) free of internal politics, full of very bright people who largely have fun. Work is challenging but everyone is supportive of each other. The employees have a substantial shareholding in the company.

Cons

Could the company focus on making more money?

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
