Great place to work

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, very respectful and diverse with a good work/life balance and accommodation of families. Very forward-thinking technical environment, with a lot of opportunity to trial, adopt and champion new technologies. A lot of room to take ownership of your work and make a difference to the company's success (and get recognised for it).

Cons

There's a hectic pace to the work sometimes, and a lot of organisational and technical change. Not a place to work if you want a quiet life.

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Easily the best job I've ever had. Management care about everyone here. Real time and effort is put in to helping staff achieve personal development. Individuals can and do make a big difference all the time and are rewarded well for doing so.

Cons

Expectations are high and you need to be adaptive to a fast paced environment.
