Awesome developers and many opportunities
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Southampton, undefined, United Kingdom
February 23, 2021
Pros: - Fantastic opportunities to learn about many different things.
- Rotation between teams is possible.
- Lots of very smart people willing to help out.
- Generally exciting projects; often you will go from being just one person researching something and the next thing you know it is a large scale team effort across countries.
- Pre-covid, travel was common, including conferences and meetups.
- Agile working and good use of communication tools ensure remote working isn't a problem.
Cons: You will not always be in a role that best suits your previous skills and experience; it depends on the business needs. But it is your career, and you can rotate.
It can be stressful when it's deadline time and you're on a must-fix defect, but that comes with the territory. You will be challenged.
