Great place to work and gain exposure to a range of projects and tech stacks - App Team Developer Purr Digital Employee Review

Purr Group is a fantastic place to work. I worked for the company for a number of years and achieved a lot, both personally and professionally. I had to leave because I needed to move to another city, but if circumstances were different I have no doubt that I would still be a happy member of the team at Purr. They manage to strike a great balance between all things that are important to a company and workplace. This goes from a great team atmosphere and a comfortable office to excellent projects and plenty of room for career development. There really is nothing that's lacking. If you happen to interview for Purr, or are potentially going to be working with/for them in another way then trust the positive feeling you get from the place and the people - you're not wrong.

Not much I can say here. I suppose that Purr is still a relatively small company, there's no getting away from that. So this means there may be some things that are important to you that are only available at big companies. Like if you wanted to travel a lot with work or something like that, or work in a team of 20+ developers, it's unlikely that you'll be able to do that with Purr as readily as you could with a bigger company. Personally, this was never an issue for me, as I wanted that small-company mentality, even if it meant sacrificing some of the big-company perks. I don't want to speak on behalf of my former colleagues, but I'd imagine they would say the same too.

I have been with Purr for less than a year now but I couldn't be happier with my decision to join here, the team are friendly and dedicated to what they do. There isn't a strict working environment, though because of this everyone works all the harder; working as part of a team, taking on other people's commitments if they are ill or away from the office and not because they feel pressured to do so but because they care about the teams success. Before I came here I was part of a large multi-national company whose only focus was margins; it sounds cliche but Purr put people first and the people have made this company into a great place to work, with great client relationships and what can only be a bright future.

Being a non-techy member of staff means I can't get involved in the coding that goes on here but I never find myself lacking for people who are willing to answer any questions I have or give a demo when tech knowledge can help with my sales activities. I suppose the biggest con is that I've caught the programming bug and I'm now learning to code at home on the weekends but that's just because I want to see what I can achieve.
