Pros

In the early days, when Hive was distinct from centrica, it was a great place to work. A few misteps in agile and a lack of direction in senior management but generally fun, innovative, and with a positive culture. That's all gone now but the central london offices are good.

Cons

Centrica didn't know what they had and killed Hive by taking over and applying its own obsolete mentality to what was a promising start-up. Nowadays Hive is Centrica with a better logo.
