Pros

There are lots of reasons why I love working at JustGiving. It's a company that really lives it's values - the people here truly care about growing the world of giving and making a difference to great causes all around the world. There is a great culture and atmosphere around the office. It's full of super smart, passionate people, so it's a great learning environment. Plus, people genuinely get on, so there's a great, social atmosphere. People work hard, not only to achieve company goals, but also out of a genuine respect for the people who work here. I've worked here for a number of years, and the last 12 months have been the most exciting.

Cons

It's a flat-structure, and that might not suit everybody. You really need to bring things to the table, as opposed to being just told/directed by someone senior.

Pros

Some pros of working at JustGiving (tech department): - Self-managed culture, very light management touch. - Smart people who will not waste your time, while understanding that we're all learning together. - You can use whatever technology you like, as long as you can convince your peers of its value. - Meritocratic - code wins over opinions. - A progressive stance towards new technology options and software delivery practices. - Great benefits, helpful expense procedure. Overall, a very satisfying place to be a software developer if you love your craft, rather than the politics.

Cons

This is a self-managed environment: you have to take responsibility to understand your role in the context of the business and make some magic happen. This does not suit some people who prefer to not to figure things out and rather just take instruction, who will then criticise this environment as 'lacking in management'. JustGiving suits entrepreneurial people.

Pros

Passionate, mature and friendly team, cool tech stack, flat structure, everyone treats you as an adult, no politics. Cool domain that really matters.

Cons

Constant team rotation around projects hurts the internal processes within the team.
