Pros

-Good travel opportunities. -Nice UK office location. -Good pay. -"Company car" if you want it. - Staff around the office friendly

Cons

-Made quick use of the 1 week notice clause in contract without warning or consultation. That's the big one. I would suggest to be sure you've got savings before starting here. Rumour is that it's frequently used. - Staff still seen as human resources, not people. -Codebase of the core product has some very quirky and proprietary architecture. For example, instead of using industry standard frameworks they've rolled their own. -OO design principles not well followed. (E.g. SOLID, DRY, KISS) -Spaghetti code. Difficult to make changes without affecting unrelated things -Junior heavy -Very inward facing view on learning. 6 months of internal training. (Institutionalized perspective) -Huge amount of technical debt with no plan to address any of it. -Agile development very misunderstood (following the dictionary term, not the methodology). -No canteen / vending / nearby shops - B.Y.O. - Car could be a tie in

Pros

Working at Sofico was a great experience. The company has a very supportive culture and provides opportunities to work on global projects with colleagues from Europe, the U.S., and Australia. I appreciated the professional growth, exposure to fleet leasing/finance, and the chance to collaborate with talented teams. Management is approachable, and the company invests in employees’ learning and development.

Cons

The global nature of the business means working across different time zones, which can sometimes be challenging. However, it also adds valuable international experience.

Project flexibility, and suitable location

Cons

Bad managerial attitude, poor leadership. Vision, people and resources could do with improving too. Biased toxic environment, only inclusive to individuals higher up.
