Pros

- Average pay and benefits package - Modern Tech Stack

Cons

- Hybrid working is enforced even though most teams are split between different offices in UK and India. - All engineering work is currently outsourced offshore where the skill level is very low. - Spend most of the time helping offshore colleagues do basic work and fixing their technical debt. - No sense of community due to teams being spread over UK and India.
