Pros

- place to get your food through the door and gain experience - direct access to senior members of companies

Cons

- Constant late pay with no information as to why or being informed of such - Poor pay in general - Zero company culture, people just work in their own bubbles - Toxic hierarchy. Top developers get away with murder due to being the SMEs of the company - Poor leadership and no respect for those lower in the chain - People are majorly overworked, too much work, not enough people to do it, leading to people working overtime; with no overtime pay

Pros

- Since the size of the company (and the office) are quite small, the colleagues are quite friendly. - If you enjoy doing whatever you want in the codebase, with 0 supervision or repercussions, no testing and no one caring for bugs, then First Clarity is the company for you.

Cons

- Payments are delayed/non-existent. Obviously nothing for bonus working time. - The office is in a basement. No windows. Zero outside light. No clean air. You are at the mercy of the closed air system of the building and some artificial lights. - Projects are done to a level that they "seem" to be working. Zero testing of any kind. - Bugs are everywhere. Management does not care for fixing them, only "delivering" new, but mostly broken features to clients. - There is literally no way to learn something new as a developer or a person. Only using old & obsolete technologies, just to barely support the clients that they have. - You never know how the company is doing, because they keep it secret. That's mostly because the company is barely held up. Through having around 10 employees, distributed between 3 separate companies (First Clarity, Evolok & FC People), you never know if you will have a job (that pays) next month. TL;DR : Avoid at all cost if you like yourself. London is a pretty diverse place and there are plenty of better companies for you.
