Pros

- Some great Devs to learn from - New and varied technology - Good location

Cons

- Quick to make people redundant. Went through a brutal round of redundancies just because we didn't win two bits of work. Made you feel anxious for your job security and just a pawn, undervalued. - Staff don't even seem to like each other. No concept of social activities whatsoever. - Stressful to meet deadlines because of a lack of developers. - No real benefits to speak of. - Difficult to get up to speed with the code base because of a lack of training or help.

Pros

Becrypt is a relaxed but professional environment. All staff are mature and work hard yet very personable and will always find the time for you, whether it's for a chat or for some help. The company is market-leading and is at the forefront of tech, the customer base is also very exciting. Staff aren't micromanaged, work-life balance is spot on. Company benefits are great.

Cons

Commission can be hit and miss - the company smashes targets year-on-year but this isn't shown as expected in the commission. Being a small company still there are staff who are working in multiple roles, from a new starter's perspective it can be confusing to identify who does what and what job roles belong to who. Would like to see more salary sacrifice schemes. Being a small company career path is limited, however I expect if the company continues on its upwards path more roles will open up that staff can progress towards.
