Pros
- Very interesting work/projects - There is a lot of flexibility in being able to carry out work in the way you see fit - Lots of opportunity to upskill and take on greater responsibilities - Flexible work arrangements - New company direction and vision is promising - Friendly staff and good atmosphere, lots of knowledge and expertise to learn from - Management generally do listen to staff and their suggestions - Company is growing and doing well in pandemic
Cons
- Company can be quite stingy with capex, there is a general need for investment into IT and other work tools to enable more efficient and productive working - HR department can sometimes be rather unorganised. - Configuration management system and surrounding processes are poor - this is being addressed in the new company transformation but it has been an issue for a very long time which doesn't fill one with hope... - While being light on processes is sometimes a good thing, there is a fine line between being light on process and having a severe lack of them which the company tends to stray a little bit too close to in my opinion - It is difficult to understand how some systems/processes work and little documentation on their proper use - Not a hugely diverse staff, especially when looking at senior management but some progress has been made in the last few years to promote diversity and inclusion
