Pros

5 weeks leave Fun people to work with, Work on high profile jobs If you are a grad it is an excellent company to learn and to have on your cv Various high profile clients love working with NDY (I guess they haven't seen this site yet)

Cons

Very specific culture (you'll need to fit in) and discrimination, bullying and harassment (yes also sexual) is quite common and gets ignored if complained about. 'Old people' run the show within NDY and therefore NDY has quite a '90s work ethic (don't fall for the buzzwords you'll see popping up everywhere). The only way to get ahead is being friends with a director. Therefore people's job level has nothing to do with their engineering skills, just how good they are at drinking beers with the boss. Too many processes, you'll be stuck doing admin work at least 10hrs a week. Decisions of senior management often seem ad hoc and without any thoughts or long term vision. At least 10 year old systems and software to work with. Any new software is only implemented with the basics due to budget cuts and therefore impossible to work with. Very high staff turnover. They stopped having gatherings for everyone that leaves, but there used to be a farewell gathering nearly every week.

Pros

There have certainly been good moments here, and I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly great colleagues.

Cons

Very little investment (actually none) is made in the London team when it comes to development and support. Even basic CPD requests were a struggle, yet the company seems willing to spend big to fly people in from NZ or AUS for temporary help when things go wrong. It’s hard not to feel like the local team is overlooked. There’s a strong sense that keeping clients happy comes above all else, even if that leads to burnout. When complaints come in from clients, the default response is often to point fingers rather than ask the team what actually happened. It feels like there’s more interest in assigning blame than in understanding and fixing the real issues, which only adds more pressure to an already stretched team.
