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.

Advice to Management

Keep up the commitment to the company values and ethos; it's making for a great place to work. Get a bigger London office!
