Pros

Best CEO Free Coffee, pool and socials Work on Azure technology

Cons

No Pay reviews Feedback is top down only No staff development Expect to work after office hours for free Favouritism and bias Massive Tech Debt that is unimportant Company grows exponentially, but developers remain the same Be careful performance monitored based on the hours you warm your chair Too fast, busy, unproductive & full of interruptions People with authority can intimidate and snap you off

Pros

I would say, people are friendly

Cons

No salary increases in the last two years, which is pretty disappointing given the ongoing workload and cost of living. It makes it hard to feel valued or motivated. Management is also a real issue. Communication is poor, decisions often feel disorganised, and there isn’t much clear direction or support for staff. It can be frustrating working in that kind of environment. Overall, there are some decent people working there, but the lack of pay progression and weak management make it a tough place to stay long term.
