Pros

Flexible working hours (nobody minds if you come in for lunch and then stay late). Relaxed work environment - everybody is friendly and helpful. Bath is a great place to live.

Cons

Very flat management structure - you'll likely be working directly under the CEO. Management is very poor - you'll sometimes have nothing to do for weeks or months at a time. Management also frequently makes short-sighted decisions - favouring short-term payoffs over long-term maintainability. Most of the employees are now full-time fixing short-term issues and bugs that could have been prevented with proper planning. Management refuses to upgrade old systems that are well beyond the end of their product lifecycles. CVS, MySQL 4.0, FreeBSD 4.0 are still in use. The engineers usually work directly on live systems - there is no testing or QA process in place for code before it is deployed.

While the majority of our historical back-end code is in Perl, we are rapidly investing in other languages, such as Go. These days, many of our teams write little to no Perl, with it being less than 20% of all code written. We're constantly experimenting with new technologies and ways of working - exploration is in our DNA. And many experiments and hackathon projects make their way into production. We don't want any of our staff to feel they don't have an opportunity to work with moderns tools or lack the opportunity to try new things.
