Pros

Generally good team atmosphere. Diverse tech stack offering a range of opportunities to learn and grow. Freedom to contribute and develop own ideas and approaches when time permits. Possibility to work in global team and occasional travel.

Cons

Deployment process very sluggish due to an organically grown tech stack. Occasional immaturity and 'lad' culture amongst male dominated engineering team. Seemed to be getting more managers leading to a too many chefs and not enough cooks situation.
