Pros

Some people are actually talented and fun to work with. If you're a contractor, you're looking at the right place.

Cons

The company has made some of the worst technical decisions ever. The security team locks down the company so heavily you'll find it hard to develop anything whereas you see competitors like Monzo or Starling running circles. The company would rather pay external companies thousands instead of take care of those internally.

We’re glad you think some of us are talented and fun! ☺ Whilst we think we’re onto a good thing, and we 100% care for the people we have here (after all, they make us who we are), we’re sorry you didn’t have the same experience. We’ve had to make some tough decisions sometimes, but it’s pretty hard building a new bank from scratch and we believe ultimately, we’re building a great bank for our customers. Anyway, we wish you the best of luck with your next endeavour! Atom

It's great to hear you enjoyed your Internship with Atom, we encourage bringing in junior hire to grow with the business and it's great to hear you enjoyed working with the team. We're in the process of developing our junior hire training scheme and are hoping to use this to continue our great, previous success we've had in developing juniors in the business!
