Pros
Friendly and open culture, for example meetings are often filled with laughter and jokes as staff allowed to "be themselves" and managers are not formal.
TU encourages diversity and supports women in technology
Low pressure compared to similar roles, as the teams are well sized and not understaffed so the workload is manageable and people are not that stressed.
As you have room to breathe you do better work and come up with good ideas
Good Benefits (pension, holiday buy/sell, shopping discounts, headspace app, linkedin learning, acloudguru, gym discount, more things I forgot!)
Paid rewards for passing exams
Flexibility in starting/ending times, doctors appointments etc
No Micromanaging, this is a huge one, no one is checking up on you and you are trusted to find and solve problems autonomously, and encouraged to make suggestions for larger improvements that need other teams to collab.
Good Pay
On-call is optional
Wireless kit and extra monitors provided
Cons
Honestly not many, just a things to be expected like
Lots of technology and processes to navigate
Some legacy and technical debt issues to workaround
Sometimes too many meetings in one day
Remote on-boarding process has a few hiccups and takes a while to get access/accounts setup so can feel helpless or bored in the first couple weeks.
