Vantaggi
Contigo still have that small company feel as it has grown and grown over the years. The development team has a family feel and everyone gets involved and your opionion matters. They have a nice office in centre of Solihull, great place to work. They have a variety of products which means multiple development work streams so plenty of variety of things to work on. Finally the company is filled with extremely knowlagable people who really understand the energy industry who area really great to work with and don't mind getting involved directly with technical staff to help develop the right solution for customers.
Svantaggi
When I left they were still working primarily with what you would now consider legacy technology so have a big job to bring their technologies up to the latest and most modern available. But that is a struggle I've seen in lots of other companies. Being a built on Microsoft technolgies means there are lots of paths they can take to mordernise and this is an interesting challange that is worth being a part of.
