Pros

1) UK higher management is good. 2) If you going to start your own business this best place to work (T&C apply) . 3) If you going to start your own business , learn here "what not to do or take care , don't wish to see your business sink". 4) Learn good product base software development skills and fly away if you wish. 5)People who call them non technical in front of MUK2 , act as Interviewer to enjoy comp-off. It is in your benefit , easy to get in. cheers. 6)Please go through Threading topic , even if you say "I dont know threading" ask anything else , you will get threading questions again. This is again in your benefit.

Cons

Micolise UK (MUK) started India unit 2.6 years back. They recruited many employees , "developer , Sr developer" (Dev) , testers and TTL(80%) gems blindly . basically gem is another form of coal. MUK' 2nd level management (MUK2) is very smart. later on they found. Gems are not properly converted from coal. They analysed they need to excuse "Technical" word from definition TTL . They arranged training for gems "HOW TO LEAD" + SCRUM master. but all money drained down. Gems are trying to hide under definition of Team Lead , MUK2 added scrum master responsibility. later on MUK2 which is very smart found , they need to excuse TL word as well. You cant join gem with any other material. "MUK2 you missed science class in school" . No worries . Later on MUK2 found Gems are not made for scrum master role (T&C gems are considered it as a Designation). So MUK2 pushed them more up now they are on TOP of Technical Lead. This is the perfect position. All changes are made to provide benefit to developers testers technical leads. Coding testing bhi koi kam hai. Benefits are listed below. 1) Our organisation follow development according to TDD (Test driven development) , no we follow TTD it is new flavor we invented . 2) Gems fight with developers and TL on technical stuff. 3) They do bulling , micro management , on floor misbehavior (HR is spectator) . 4)We follow scrum and daily invent new flavor of scrum , man its more thrilling than Movie jumanji. 5) Layers of not technical people is increasing day by day with acts as encapsulation , yeah we follow oops too. (its not oops movie ok). 6) No training to dev and testers these are too dumb to understand those , why to waste money on them. 7) Non technical assault your skills in appraisal. 8) These people also extend your probation period for foolish reason , actually this is in you favor to enjoy no notice period and fly away if you wish. 9) Dont ask about HR to me , read other reviews.

Pros

a handful of decent people tea, coffee and fruit

Cons

As a former employee I can only stress how much I would advise looking elsewhere. The company is rife with micromanagement and there are more managers than staff! There are certain individuals who go out their way to put other people down and I personally witnessed severe workplace bullying, which when reported is ignored.
