Pluspunten

+ Entire tech team is full-time remote, so you can work from home without missing out on any impromptu office discussions. + Great work/life balance + Mental health, diversity, and inclusivity initiatives are taken seriously by middle-management. Most places I've worked they were mentioned in a quarterly HR meeting and then promptly ignored. + A global team brings a whole range of different perspectives. + Management often invests in reducing technical debt and QoL improvements to the development process. + Very flexible working hours + While much of the legacy codebase is a bit dated, developers are always encouraged to build new services using cutting edge tech. + Very competitive salaries + Onboarding has become pretty painless, especially considering the size and complexity of our systems

Minpunten

- Being fully remote really prevents team building (to be fair, we used to have annual meet-ups, but given how much the team has grown during the pandemic we're now in a situation where most of us have never met in person) - Generally people are good about considering your local time, but occasionally you'll need to work weird hours because you're working with someone in a different timezone. This happens more often the further you are from GMT. - It's a large enough company that no one person understands the full ecosystem, in fact, even within that ecosystem there are applications that no one person fully understands. - Backwards compatibility is almost always very strict because it can take weeks to get all of the consumers of a service to sign off on compatibility breaking change. - Legacy code is poorly documented and all of the original developers have been gone for years. The current SMEs are typically 2 or 3 degrees of separation removed from the original architects of a system. - They've been slowly phasing out Linux as a viable development platform - It's not always clear whose responsibility a project is, which can lead to either orphaned projects or different teams stepping on each other's toes.

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate reviews from current employees and are pleased that there are so many positives in your review. Regards to the diversity we acknowledge that we need more women in our Tech departments. This is a Tech-wide issue that we are also tackling head on from a recruitment perspective. Broadly, our data shows that we have improved our ratio of male to female overall. We published our 2021 UK pay gap information report on the 17th of March it is available to download from our corporate website. We are very open to employee feedback and we are happy to connect on any of the other points you have raised that you want to discuss in more detail via your People Partner. We look forward to connecting with you!
