Advice to Management
Overall a great place to start your career, it definitely suits a certain type of person.

- It's not a small 'start up' tech business so they can't compete with unlimited annual leave but that being said, the management team genuinely encourage you to use your (pretty generous) vacation quota to take time and recharge the batteries (with a team based profit share model you'll also know that your desk will be looked after whilst you're gone so you can properly unwind )
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing!
