Pros: Excellent Benefits and Work Environment

Cons: None that I can think of.

Pros: Good location in Manchester city centre and a friendly environment.

Cons: Working on new projects is predominantly allowed to contractors. They go away with the knowledge they have acquired and leave the perms with the maintenance part of what they have built.

Pros: Great people to work with. Free breakfast.

Cons: It seems the company's only focus is to make quick money in the short term without improving the product. In fact, a lot of the business logic is still based on a dreadful legacy system that is very costly to maintain. New projects that should be the core of new improvements are understaffed. The opinion of engineers is completely dismissed by management when it is time to set the strategy, and that creates requirements that are almost impossible to achieve with this old legacy system. The management changes primary focus every 2-3 quarters, making it really difficult to achieve something meaningful. There is almost no room for career and salary improvement. In particular, the salaries are subpar compared with the industry.
