Pros

People and central office location.

Cons

Office politics, staff being kept in the dark Making people redundant while recruiting to fill the same positions Promissing things that never come true Management making people feel guilty and worthless No flexibility Minimum 1% pension No perks The way that software is being built, apprentice people are asked to perform important code changes without peer review. No structure - everyone does everything

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time with Ignite. To address some of the very important points that you raise: We are not recruiting to fill redundant positions We have updated our policy to offer flexible working hours between 7am-7pm The minimum pension unless you opt out is 1% but the maximum (employer contribution) is 4% We have PerkBox for all our staff - check it out it's pretty good - as well as monthly free lunches, weekly fresh fruit delivery, roof garden, breakout areas... We have a very successful apprentice progam that we plan to continue. As management we try to be as open minded and receptive as possible - if anyone past/present/future has feedback/suggestions then the door is always open. We wish you all the best in your next role

Pros

Central Office location, short walk from Piccadilly Gardens Free fruit delivered to the office twice a week An occasionally filled snack box, varying in chocolate, sweets and crisps PS4 -- tournaments at lunch (usually Fifa) bringing employees together Decent training budget along with training days to improve employees personal develpment Amazing environment, some of the best people to work with, everyone is friendly, fun, and it is a place i enjoy coming to each day Senior management recognize there past mistakes and are making improvements and changes to the company for the better Dev manager is a delight, is making fast and noticeable changes to improve the companies future and improve quality of life Free lunch Friday before payday Beer o clock 4pm friday (beer included) Office music

Cons

Company has had a rocky past, many previous bad mistakes made have had lasting effects on the company however improvements are trying to be made As much as the training budget is good, its hard to find time for training with the workload, often when training days for the devs have been scheduled in they have been pulled off for "urgent" issues that have come up Every issue seems more "urgent" than the last, often having 2 or 3 "highest priority" which is just gets confusing since to devs 3 hp jiras are all equal in priority when often they are not Although less than the past office politics still linger in some scenarios Not enough experienced developers/testers
