Pros

parking spaces, free fruit, milk, bread and other condiments, sports&social

Cons

* a prime example of a rat race * some managers (let's call them ratagers) don't want to stoop that low to talk to their team members honestly and listen (i know, my bar was set too high) * ratagers treat their subordinates like air - don't aknowledge they exist in the same physical space time continuum * ratagers resort to bullying and are plain rude (or just ignore you if they can) * a lot of politics and kindergaten fights * no real action, ratagers love talking a lot especially in meetings, preferably as many as possible, maybe some global gathering for loads of money before the subject is changed * no interest in investing in technologies (oldies are not always goodies, IT is not music or wine) and training existing staff (so if you wanna learn anything new - run,Forest! RUUUUN!) * if you think you might develop any new skills in teams that do use newer technoligies than java 6 make sure you got a proper training from Tramp staff and that your managers at least somewhat likes you because ratagers in their naturtal habitat tend to act upon their personal feelings * if you're hoping for regular salary bump either become a rat or a blackmailer * ratagers rarely know what they're doing. they just have overblown egos that need to be petted and adored * ratagers are proud of their corporate values that have absolutely no reflection in reality (we can always make negatives into positives, right? these are more like false positives) * ratagers love to have their self-congratulatory cake with a 'google of a travel industry' cherry on top. in reality it's a pile of manure in a fancy package * ratagers apart from aformentioned cake feed on panic, intimadtion, threats and more meetings and action points. * if you like rodents (there might be some snakes there too so make sure you also like reptiles) this is a perfect place for you! * otherwise don't come near with a barge pole.

Pros

Position allows you to very quickly get extensive Python experience. Work within wide variety of different environments and projects. Introduction to DevOps/Automation which is a hot job market. Huge exposure to Open Source community. Learn to quickly build and turn over Proof of Concepts. Allows room to grow. Fairly self driven allowing you to set a lot of your own priorities. Flexible hours, laid back environment.

Cons

Being self-driven, there can be periods where it is hard to find direction. Some projects hit roadblocks and become hard to drive forward. You'll be following behind me... so you have big shoes to fill (/flex).

Pros

Your career and job satisfaction is in your hands. You'll have lots of latitude to not only get the job done, but also to be creative in how you do it. There's unlimited potential for growth. It's fast-moving and never dull. You get to work with some of the top brands in the industry, which in itself can be extremely rewarding.

Cons

Sometimes, the fast-pace can get a little tiring. There's not often a chance to slow down or learn from mistakes.
