Great company to work for

Software engineering team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of freedom to innovate, great colleagues, deeply complex and interesting projects.

Cons

Communication between teams is not great. Management of projects often lacks a single technical authority, so the architecture of the systems often evolve organically, resulting in a less than ideal outcome in terms of maintainability, flexibility and optimality. Regarding pay, someone with my skills could earn a lot more elsewhere.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ocado really cares about using the best technology for the job and trusts its employees to find and use it. You are surrounded by smart, motivated people throughout the company. The are no big procedures in the way of doing your job and you are given the right access to be able to build and support your systems.

Cons

The only con is the location, just outside London but close enough that you will be paying the extra to live around there.
