Pros

Reecetech does offer a number of ways to improve your development skills, particularly across legacy applications as they still rely heavily on ancient tech and applications that have received very few updates. Expect to be expected to learn things quickly with little support. While you can work from home, there is significant pressure to return to office. The office is lovely, especially if you're in the area for it, with decent amenities inside and around the area. Development staff, especially junior to mid level, are good people but there's little culture to inspire talking to them outside of occasional Workday posts.

Cons

Management like to apply pressure and organisation is not good. Projects rarely hit deadlines. Developers are expected to work overtime, sometimes this is enforced and required even on weekends. Leave is not respected and you will often be asked to work while on leave. Revolving door of staff - only very senior staff are consistent, even their numbers are dwindling, which makes learning their systems challenging when nobody is left who understands their intricacies. Pay is far lower than industry norms, and growth is limited as you will not be given time to learn. Ignore claims that you can switch between teams if you want to change your focus, they will deny it due to the issues with staffing. Performance reviews are practically non-existent and team culture is horrendous, with standups extending for 40+ minutes regularly and both BAs and upper management berating developers publicly for perceived failings. Salary increases do not reflect changing conditions and take place once a year after you have spent a year with the company. If you join in January, do not expect your salary increase until the following November.

Pros

Flexibility with remote work and work from home options.

Cons

Reece the retail store has an amazing culture of mentorship, training and growth. But unfortunately Reecetech does not share a shred of the Reece way. No options for career growth. No existing framework or future plans for a career growth framework. No regular feedback or any kind of clarity of milestones to be achieved. The organization is a continuous revolving door of key tech personnel leaving. Management relies heavily on junior or mid level staff personnel to "look after" new recruits and alas this leads to a blind leading the blind situation at best. Onboarding process completely absent for ReeceTech. Certain mid level staff even go so far as to get junior staff fired, instead of actually putting in the effort for training new people. A lot of passive aggressiveness within teams, and management only caring about numbers and not really about nurturing the talent in the organization. There is no regular performance review, and most tech personnel feel that they cannot learn anything new and their skills stagnate. Promotions are in name only, there is no real salary hike, etc. Excessively relying on external consultants to do the heavy lifting of the SDLC.

Pros

A large company, established policies. Advanced stack - AWS/Kubernetes/Github etc

Cons

The housing construction downturn makes it difficult to sell plumbing stuff. So, the company becomes conservative and focuses on saving money.
