Pros: - Good salary, they also offer a generous bonus at the end of the year, which is rare in this industry. - Tech stack is very interesting - you're gonna learn a lot of infrastructure as well as AI and data engineering if end up in a good team. - People are very smart and in general very motivated. If you enjoy building cool stuff this is the place to go.

Cons: - No flexibility in their hybrid policy: If you join Checkout you must come 3 days per week in the office (there are some exceptions i.e. if you are sick, extraordinary causes etc). I really feel this policy hurts more than helps, most of the talent are going to competitors precisely for this reason, and for work/life balance this is pretty bad - Mandatory out-of-hours on call. It is quite generous (50% of your hourly salary), however if you are in a team with a lot of incidents (i.e. core teams) get yourself prepare. If you get an offer make sure it's not a critical team to avoid this. - Perks are not really perks: it comes as a deduction from your salary. For example private health insurance - you need to sacrify ~100£/month to get this "perk" as well as others, which I found this a bit ridiculous. - The free lunches are terrible. Sorry but it is the true - I would suggest management to radically change the free lunches approach and either offer vouchers to employees or a self-service catering like other tech companies do

Pros: Good office, free lunch, good culture

Cons: can not think of anything

Pros: The perks are good, and you gain a lot of good experience.

Cons: Workload is pretty high with high expectations.
