Pros

Good developer tools. Friendly people. Customers who clearly value the product. Company-catered lunch every few months, and free snacks & drinks in the office.

Cons

No vision for the future direction of the company or product. A sprawling codebase with limited test coverage & varying architectural styles. Most employees have never worked anywhere else.

Pros

A handful of good people doing their best in a difficult environment.

Cons

By far one of the most toxic working environments I’ve encountered. The company relies on an outdated tech stack and operates through entrenched cliques, limiting growth, innovation, and fairness. Junior staff are largely left to sink or swim. Steer clear. Genuinely.

Pros

Incredible benefits including mental health support and long term sickness benefits. Most supportive employer I've ever worked with. I'll miss working with them.

Cons

A fear reinventing their product may be holding them back from taking the lead.
