      Mixed experience

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Fun, informal office environment. * Regular social activities * Flexible working * Budget available for training and exploring new technologies and initiatives. * Reasonable tech stack - 100% Cloud-based for the dev teams. * Currently working towards the B Corp certification. There is a genuine interest in the environment and giving back to charity and the community.

      Cons

      * The cons from the previous reviews (August and September 2018) are still valid. * Poor line management - it can be difficult to escalate issues. * Silos of knowledge can make it difficult to collaborate and cross-train, creating a lonely working environment. * Team politics. Long-timers can be protective of their products and ways of working. This does not bode well for a company that is trying to rapidly increase their headcount. * Struggling to retain staff due to the above.
