      Pros

      Some very interesting projects. Some great customers. Some amazing opportunities.

      Cons

      Currently going through a transition and trying to work out what it wants to be. Senior management do not appear to have an agreed position and direction is often changed.

      Pros

      The biggest pro for me is the clients you get to work with - it really sets it apart from the average ones Cap, Atos, B4 & A work for. The people I've work with are quite high calibre people and enjoying learning from and work with them. Although with the recruitment drive, I do see a few grads get in that have the STEM 2.1 from a good uni, but not much else. These types are mainly software engineers though. The team I'm in is a 50 hour/wk standard, but that doesn't seem to be the norm here and in fact a few people in the team work part time due to family etc. Good social vibes too. Good pay (I came in as experienced). Nice office.

      Cons

      As above, the large recruitment drive has led to some average software engineer grad hires. I came in at a good salary, but hear the odd grumble from someone re pay. There also used to be fruit smoothie machines that were taken away a few years ago : (

      Pros

      Vibrant, energised, innovative, high performance culture with highly talented and dedicated employees. Very good working policies and practices enabling strong performance and reaching full potential. Extremely ambitious growth targets facilitating exciting development/professional opportunities and stretching targets.

      Cons

      Can be quite a tricky environment to settle in if unfamiliar with high performance/ high levels of autonomy type of working environment. The nature of the businesses fast pace and it can be at times a little stressful or pressured. Middle management can lack interpersonal/ management skills due to their strong analytical abilities.
