Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear you made some firm friends whilst working with us and admired our leadership team. The Culture between our London and Northampton office is sometimes different and we think that is OK. They often do very different jobs in very different ways. We do however have an amazing set of Values that allows us all to appreciate our cultural differences and still work together really well.

Although the problem is being worked on, there are a few areas with quite a lot of tech debt.

Pros

Great opportunities to grow and develop as a professional. I've worked with some great and bright people. The standard of tech is high and the company has a great team of insurance and marketing professionals at their head office too.

Cons

You'll notice that the company changed since it's owned by private equity investors. The startup mentality is gone and that's something you can feel around you.
