Business Outlook

Pros

Naomi from Instant Impact was SO incredibly helpful throughout this interview process, she gave me great feedback and all the details and information I needed to succeed! The discovery day is a lot of fun and really helps with getting to know what the company is like/about and also Charlie & Josh (who I had my final interview with) at the Brighton office were really nice to meet with, made me feel super comfortable and was just a really pleasant interaction all-round!

Cons

there are two verbal and numerical tests you need to do as part of the interview process, with revision and some good concentration they're fairly easy to get through but it was quite daunting after being out of education for so long.

Great culture, transparent and treats you as a human

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture here is great - coworkers and management treat you like a human. You can come as you are - with diversity and inclusion being at the forefront. They do not micromanage and are quick to help out when needed. Can WFH whenever you want (even fully remote). You take control and are responsible for your own work and working hours. The work is flexible and you can work on problems that interest you. The engineering culture is excellent - always striving to be better instead of languishing in mediocrity. It's a blameless culture in post mortems.

Cons

Career development and learning is a bit less defined - you kind of have to make your own way. Since it's a global company - if you're working with people outside of your time zone you may have to get up early / stay up a bit later for meetings.
