Pros

The people are friendly. Central London offices are nice with free fruit as perks. I am lucky enough to work with a talented team. Truly the nicest place I have ever worked. You can work from home a few days a week if your manager and team do the same but it does vary wildly between teams.

Cons

Big cost savings from parent company Centrica means that there are periodic redundancies of hard working people and outsourcing to Eastern Europe just to save money. This is eroding trust and there isn’t a feeling we will get sold off at any point. This isn’t great when you are trying to build a business. Lots of contractors getting paid big big bucks compared to permenant staff - simply a reflection of the market but not great knowing how much your colleagues earn compared to you!
