Pros

Decent salary, very good people trying to improve things, interesting challenges.

Cons

Bureaucracy makes things move 10 times slower. Goals always depend on things that need a lot of bureaucratic processes. Some people getting promoted to senior level but no way are senior. Lots of technical debt.

Pros

From my experience a friendly culture with great people who are always there to help. Very understanding management and a very good set of tech learning resources.

Cons

Joined on the graduate scheme which at the time lacked much of a structure. Experience will vary by team but in my case have found myself using somewhat antiquated technologies and working methods.
