Business Outlook

Pros

The people are great, the team work well together and are doing the best they can with what they have.

Cons

Constant uphill battle to get anything done, outdated Jira projects to change anything an admin has to be emailed to get it done. Understanding what the MVP the business wants is difficult, co-ordination with other dept is frightful, work is created for other teams with little or no thought on how this will affect the planning of work already in flight, with demands that it be done. Any HR requests are met with “well you need to join the union to get that changed!”

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation, nice inclusive culture and vibe, flexible working is generous.

Cons

Living/working in Warwickshire is quite quiet, make sure you're ready for that. The scheme can be quite varied depending on where in the business you end up, so being open minded and adaptable helps. You may not get trusted with super important projects/tasks, you have to make your own luck a bit. The culture is quite good but very male-dominated.
