Pros

Good work/life balance and decent pay for the area

Cons

Lack of clear management structure, company priorities are not well defined. Middle management more concerned with keeping the CEO happy than making sensible long-term decisions. Project goals change arbitrarily, no clear feedback and poor internal communication.

Pros

The working hours are very flexible and the compensation is decent. The office location is right in the heart of Bath, a very pleasant city in which to live.

Cons

The management was poor during my time at Netcraft. I was left without proper work for weeks at a time, despite raising this with my line manager. The primarily perl codebase is in serious need of refactoring. Bonuses are partially awarded on a points system, in which points are gained by completing tasks. This system is very much open to abuse by the more greedy employees, who attempt to hoard the easier tasks.

Pros

Freedom to organize your own time, defend your design choices and casual culture. The management structure is quite flat, so you're likely to work with the CEO in some occasions. Free lunches + snacks (but you have to cook it yourself, i.e. microwave)

Cons

Management could be better, sometimes they don't even agree with each other. The code base is quite old and a lot of the time is spent tracking down some bugs in unreadable code.
