Would not trust them again. People left in the dark for months without a single job opportunity. - Software Engineer Trainee Digital Futures Employee Review

Pros

Very good training tailored to skills relevant to the current market, lovely instructor, and paid for certifications

Cons

They are advertising themselves at some job sites as if there was a secured job after the training, THIS IS A LIE. There are graduates that have been waiting for 7 months after graduating without a single job interview. Even in London, they have not offered a single role in the last 2 months, and the prospects are really bad for the company. They have a backlog of 60+ engineers waiting for a placement, around 100 students have just started in the new cohorts, and there have been only about 13 engineers deployed in the last 6 months. The situation is getting worse, as we've been told in a meeting where no questions were allowed that their most important clients are pausing hiring. So, honestly, take this just as a 12-week free bootcamp, do your best work, learn as much as you can, build your portfolio, and then be prepared to go and find a job elsewhere.

Pros

Working at Digital Futures has been brilliant. Your growth is up to you, it's as good as you make it and the company actively supports its staff to get there. This support makes all the difference especially when kick starting in a corporate career. I've had genuine opportunities to expand my skills, whether through hands-on project work or formal learning, and the investment in your development genuinely pays off. My line manager has been fantastic. They've been genuinely interested in my development, clear about expectations, and supportive when I've needed it. That makes all the difference. What strikes me most is the whole company culture. You're not left to figure things out alone. People across teams actively help, collaborate, and want each other to succeed. There's a real sense of purpose here. I genuinely enjoy my time here, and I'd absolutely recommend Digital Futures to others looking for a workplace that values both your contribution and your future. If you're considering joining, go for it.

Cons

Digital Futures is growing fast, so teething pains come with the territory. Processes evolve, priorities shift, and things aren't always perfect. But it's the cost of being part of something scaling, and the company actively works to improve.
