Pros

Good Salary and Benefits (25 days hols, 9% pension, some insurances options etc) Relaxed environment No stress or high level of micromanagement from above Most colleagues were quite competent

Cons

No career progression at all Mentorship scheme did not provide any value No chance to move internally or explore other avenues (within IT) No social events No project governance or documentation Lack of methodology and standards, everything sits inside few people brains (who guard it in order to keep their jobs) Management keeping secretive and not sharing anything with the team until last minute.
