Pros

- Good project variety, always working with cutting edge technologies, makes it a good place to learn. - Good staff, average engineer is very capable and humble, a few standout world class engineers that are happy to lend their expertise if asked. - Currently offering a flexible remote environment.

Cons

- No reward for excellence in your role other than the plaudits of your co-workers. - Uncompetitive salary in Belfast market, even worse in remote market. - HR completely coupled to senior leadership team, not even a facade of impartiality. - Verbally champion diversity while protecting managers that actively discriminate against those that make us diverse. - Continued effort to enact anti-employee policy despite rampant disapproval amongst staff.

Brilliant work-life balance and real flexibility in a culture that genuinely puts people first. You’re trusted to work your way, and the vibe is collaborative and energetic with quick decisions and no pointless red tape. The team loves what they do, and senior leaders are approachable, visible, and actually listen.

Genuinely hard to find a con

Pros

Instil is a great company to work for. The culture is supportive, inclusive, and collaborative — people are encouraged to share ideas and take ownership of their work. TThere’s a strong focus on growth, with plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies and take on challenging projects. The company is clearly growing, and it feels exciting to be part of that journey.

Cons

As the company continues to grow, things can move quickly and priorities sometimes shift — but that’s to be expected in a fast-moving, expanding organisation.
