Pros

V. good starting salary for graduates Wide variety of roles to get involved in - the company does so much, it's highly likely you'll find an area that takes your fancy So much to get involved in generally, company has a good focus on personal development This can sometimes mean you are thrown into a very client facing role early on - allows you to learn a lot very quickly though Get to work with some bright people Kit-kats Fantastic work-life balance

Cons

Pay progression not as good as other companies. A lot can be expected of you very early on (this is very role dependent and isn't necessarily bad if you're looking for a challenge). Some roles are definitely not as good as others... Very much down to luck as to where you first get placed.

Pros

Great group of people to work with, this was one of the best company's I have had the pleasure to work with.

Cons

Not really much to say about this... the only issue is the long shifts, but that is the nature of the beast.

Pros

Some interesting work and good access to customers. Overseas placements possible in most major countries and main cities around the world, albeit poor packages offered.

Cons

It is going through a difficult time struggling to improve the business. Recent organisational changes are ops focused and don't address the core engineering and delivery issues.
