Pros

-Great work life balance: 7 hours a day, one working from home day a week, flexible working hours -Talented and experienced colleagues, so a good place to learn from other people -Generally good use of good practices and processes at the development level -Support in learning and personal development: every other Friday is hack day and every developer is allowed to use the day to work on personal projects, even not work related -Very relaxed working environment

Cons

A lot of technical and architectural decisions are made by upper business people with little or no technical input and they often result in over-engineered, un-maintanable and brittle solutions

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
