Decent salary and clear career development pathways. Paid training to build a strong foundation in a tech career. Opportunities for relocation to a growing number of offices. A variety of employee-led social groups and activities to join.

Limited flexibility with very rigid organisational policies. Anti-WFH messaging from senior leadership. Basic benefits package with minimal additional perks. Client project can differ massively in scope and experiences. Travel requirements for client work or internal training is essentially unpaid overtime.

Overall average experience—nothing to love but it could be worse.

Relaxed working environment and choice of several UK office locations. Free biscuits and coffee. Graduate developers receive high quality paid training. Transparent pay structure & frequent increases. Variety of assignments, 6-18 months with each client. Never pressure to take work home with you - evenings and weekends are yours.
