Pros

Great people, very intelligent and happy to share knowledge.

As an intern, they are aware that you will not be at a professional level in terms of delivery, but consistently push you to do better.

On-site pub!

Going out for Friday lunches.

I learned more in one year here than I did in three years of university!

Lots of advice on applying to the graduate scheme.

Personal development manager has helped me to no end with my future career.

Cons

The setup process is slow for new starters, i.e. setting up a laptop.

A lot of legacy code exists on the older projects. However, the newer projects are using many new technologies and best practices.

Advice to Management

If the setup process could be made slicker, then it would be perfect.
