      Pros

      Free beer on a Friday, gym, free parking

      Cons

      I quit my full time job after 9 years to work here, they pressured me into working less than my notice as they were 'so keen to have me on board' and after 3 weeks they took me and friend into another room and 'let me go'. They let me work all the way up to 6 o clock on the Friday evening before deciding there were no jobs, and in front of my friend who was staying. They knew what they were doing as I didn't want her to have any repercussions. The free time to Snowdon is basically finding out of you're one of 'their' people and if you're not they let you go. That's it, plain and simple. They don't like you, they sack you, regardless of how hard you work.

      This is clearly a fake review. Anyone who has worked at UKFast will know this as there are a number of inaccuracies. Firstly we don't "let people go" in front of friends. Secondly we don't finish at 6pm on a Friday, we finish at 5pm. Thirdly We employ all sorts of quirky and unusual characters, myself included! We value effort over skill. No one ever lost their job at UKFast for trying hard. That's ridiculous. We do not value highly skilled people who think the world owes them a living! We love people who want to contribute and make a difference. These are the people we love and the ones that excel. Finally, it's also unlikely that we'd take on someone who has been at the same company for 9 years as we value the experience people accumulate from variety. We look for people who get dissatisfied and are searching for the perfect role.

      Pros

      Culture on the tech side is quite good. Free drinks at the bar. If you wanted, you could probably stay a long time here if you were happy as you are.

      Cons

      Non-tech teams were extremely cliquey and were incredibly target-driven, resulting in lots of missold systems totally inappropriate for customers. They are also very reluctant to talk to the engineers so these issues aren't ever corrected. Limited progression opportunities despite their advertising - the certificates that are paid for is true (as long as you continue working there another 12 months), but getting them approved can take a long time, if ever, as they seem to only approve the cheaper certificates and make you very slowly build up, rather than going something more appropriate for your level of competence.

      Pros

      Great, friendly people for the most part. Made some good friends in my time at the company. Onsite gym, onsite bar, beer friday (don't know if this still happens)

      Cons

      Terrible pay, bad tech stack, no clear progression routes
