Pluspunten

Not much to say here.

Minpunten

- office in an extremely rural location (Knutsford) which isn’t accessible to a lot of people by train or bus, but still management forces people to come in twice a week - due to office being rural it is not a good place for young people or grads as you will be driving to work and no socials afterward. Your early career experience will suffer really badly here - pay is below industry standards for software engineers - very difficult to get promoted - very outdated technology used compared to industry standards - too much controlling. Cannot even watch tech videos on YouTube - very hard to even get access to anything needed. Mainly because there are massive teams segmented and need their approval - a lot of red tape for even a small thing. Makes life hell - no funded tech training or certifications. No budget for this. No professional development days. No focus on upskilling - really toxic sexist people being promoted. Directors protect these people.

Pluspunten

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Minpunten

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
