Pros

Overall nice people. Not micromanaged. Some very clever and talented people which is inspiring

Cons

Lack of strategy, direction and vision from the top. Rudderless Engineers who have little business nous run the business Management too risk adverse Don't really have an international or global business, frankly laughable and dishonest to claim this The company is fast becoming a dinosaur and out of step with the times Creativity and entrepreneurship discouraged Cheap towards staff and clients Pay is woeful and training doesn't materialise The offices suck the life out of you, Epsom offices in particular are dreadful Talented people not recognised or rewarded, seen as a risk or a threat

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
