Pros

A good first company to join from University to learn how business and how to program Well defined internal processes

Cons

I worked on a project where I knew relatively nothing when I started. 18months later I was still on the project and it was just turning the handle to bill hours on my timesheet. I wasn't really learning much more and my requests to move to another project with different technologies just fell on deaf ears. I had to leave as if I hadn't, I would still be doing the same thing now, and I would have skills that were not transferable outside one specific customer meaning my chances of getting a better job would be lower.

Pros

- Lots of training provided - Exposed to different projects at different companies - Cozy community. The company is small and you will know everyone and will interact with them all the time. I was very close to my colleagues in our office and we were like family. - Company conference in the UK every year

Cons

- I had fantastic direct management but higher-up management did not seem to have clear direction of what to do with the US market. - Sometimes high-up management involved too much into technical decisions, in which they had very little knowledge on the domain, and would cause bad direction in development - Salary not rewarding. Regardless how much one contributed to the revenue and improvements of the company, promotion and salary increase (or even salary adjustment) wouldn't happen until one demands for it. - Bonus scheme was unfair.
