Process
Consisted of four rounds of interviews, each targeting different aspects such as personality, skillset, teamwork, problem-solving, and more. I learned a lot from the experience that I will be able to take into future interviews to get myself a job.

Great company, but be prepared for lots of organizational change
Enterprise Architect • Current Employee
Reading, England, United Kingdom
August 29, 2019
Pros: Good salary but lots of benefits.
Working with the latest technology and lots of support for training.
Cons: Lots of change - org changes every year, and whole groups can disappear if not aligned to the latest direction.
5.0
Great company ethos, lots of opportunities
Senior Cloud Solution Architect • Current Employee
Reading, England, United Kingdom
January 14, 2023
Pros: - Good package with lots of perks.
- Generous leave after 5 years.
- Super flexible attitude to WLB, lots of WFH opportunity.
- Tons of opportunities to move internally (although not in the current climate).
- A genuine sense of a company trying to do right by its employees.
Cons: - Still too much internal competition and territorial in-fighting between teams, which makes it hard to do your job properly sometimes.
- In recent years, there has been no travel budget, no entertainment budget, and no events; a very penny-pinching attitude to non-core things.
5.0
Company culture and opportunity are excellent
Cloud Solution Architect • Current Employee
Reading, England, United Kingdom
November 24, 2018
Pros: Remuneration, opportunities to work in different roles, and encouragement to grow.
Excellent company culture; it does a great deal of "giving back". Management inspires confidence.
A lot of great technical opportunities and plenty of scope to do things you love, if you can find the time.
Cons: In sales roles, there is a relentless focus on reporting. Unrealistic recent sales targets in the cloud business are getting to be silly. A minor gripe: having the UK main office in Reading is a pain. It's hard to get to and miles from all our customers, so you always end up trying to arrange meetings in the London office, which is massively overcrowded.
