Pros

- Potential to be promoted quickly to take more responsibility - Biweekly retrospectives to discuss problems and discuss changes - Loosely flexible working hours - expected to be working between 10-5, 8 hours a day, but can adjust when you arrive and leave the office accordingly - Values collaboration between tech employees - Nice new office - Quarterly budget for teams to have social events - Annual bonuses

Cons

- Actively encouraged to use methods of outright deception of customers to maximise sales - Working with ancient frameworks, and unwilling to embrace change - Extremely messy codebase that will only get worse - Coding standards are largely ignored for the sake of timeliness, code reviews are optional - Cutbacks everywhere (using free version of Slack) - Very small holiday allowance, zero benefits offered - Expected only to innovate or train for new skills in free time, never on company time
