Pros

Free Tea and Coffee. Great if you like working 12 hour days and being shouted at.

Cons

A very unpleasant and unfriendly place to work. Long long hours. No structure or training and a very strong blame culture. Seriously the place could make someone ill from working there the stress it causes. Old technology - in house developed and useless for your CV.

Pros

Some really nice people and a good starting salary

Cons

Awful culture of working above and beyond for no reward. They'll make it impossible to progress and when you manage to there will be no training Some managers severely lack in empathy and the company does not care about your mental health. No matter how much employees complain to management nothing will ever change.

Pros

I think the job is quite good in itself. I mean that in terms of the role. It's really quite ranged and the technology is quite exciting too. This be coming from someone who wasn't technical but left with some know-how. In that way I can't fault it. Some of the grads hired are actually quite nice people, I had a lot of fun with them

Cons

The main reason for marking the role down is the culture and mentality of management, they are very petty and personal. The CEO (understandably, considering the company is his passion project) can be very personal behind your back. The reviews on here show this. For almost every negative review written the CEO will respond with the first line dismissing their credibility, i.e. 'sorry you didn't pass your probation period', 'we only let people go rarely' etc. There's also been a sudden influx of positive reviews after numerous negative ones. It's funny that, it could be a sign that the company has turned over a new leaf? Or it could not? We'll never know!
