Pros

It is a fast paced and buzzy atmosphere. If you like to keep busy and prefer an environment where you have lots of variety you will be in the right place. Coffee machine and ping pong yes, but it is the people who make the place special.

Cons

Not for the faint hearted and you do need to bring something to the mix. There is no free ride and for sure there are easier ways to land a pay packet.

Pros

I genuinely had a good experience at Reading Room with all the colleagues and clients and pleased to be in contact with many after leaving the team for a new role. The work is varied and interesting. There are always unknown opportunities depending on what plans new and existing clients bring.

Cons

It can be a very full and complex workload for the project managers. They take a few knocks at times. I hope the leadership is building them up. There job should be able to lead with authority. Software development always has its unknowns. Sometimes the work is understood, there has to be a better way of explaining that to clients and managing the expectations.
