Pros

Great environment to work in, being both friendly and professional.

Intelligent employees.

Ambitious company, always looking to grow.

Lots of cutting-edge technologies being used.

Very nice offices.

Decent work-life balance.

Cons

Infrastructure needs to move to the cloud quicker.

Agile ceremonies are not being used efficiently enough.

Fortnightly retrospective meetings lack action points to facilitate sufficient continuous improvement within teams.

Some teams are too large to even be classed as agile. This results in daily stand-up meetings consistently going over 30 minutes.

More training is required for some technologists to give them a better understanding of the upstream/downstream business processes surrounding the software they are creating or maintaining.
