Pros

I'm working in a great and dynamic team as a software engineer, where I am able to have a voice in terms of technology stack and our approach. (Mixture of agile and non-agile methodology that allows for more freedom to innovate.) It can depend on the team you land in whether things will move fast or slow. Some teams are exceptional executors of ideas, some can be a little slow to make decisions (but there are many teams here) Many opportunities to learn, including on site academy sessions and workshops. Sometime we get big names in the software world to present and run workshops which is awesome and inspiring.

Cons

Senior people aren't encouraged enough to teach and share the knowledge. Junior people who show exceptional abilities aren't promoted fast enough.

Great to see that you're enjoying your team and the freedom to make your voice heard. You make a good point about encouraging senior employees to share more expertise and this is something the Academy would like to encourage. We'll feed that back. Regarding your point about promotions, there is an ongoing process to improve and refine the way we promote – chat to one of the Catalysts if you'd like to get involved, or keep an eye out for their updates.
