Vantaggi

- Free Fruit - Central Location - Most of employees were lovely

Svantaggi

- Very little room for progression to management positions. - Apprentices limited to laborious and repetitive tasks, personal development limited. - Lack of transparency within the organisation, knowledge is limited to select few. - Pay is below market rate. - Far from delivering in an agile methodology, despite their claims. - Pressure from top-tier management to meet unrealistic deadlines, (deadlines given to staff without discussion). - Employing contractors to tackle difficult tasks, despite employees having a better understanding of the business and its processes - they should at least be involved! - Genuine lack of company culture, (very rare that events are organised, dictated by top-tier staff)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that you like our new offices in the Northern Quarter and the other staff at Ignite. I'm sorry you were frustrated by the lack of career progression. Our Client, Test, and Tech leads and directors were all promoted from long-serving staff so hopefully there is the opportunity there for others. We are always trying to improve transparency within Ignite, and that is why we hold weekly office-wide stand-up updates with the opportunity to ask any questions of the senior management. We always try to pay our staff in line with their abilities and contributions. We also try to create a working environment and perks that add a bit extra too. I'm sorry if you felt undervalued. We do occasionally use contractors for complex or quick turnaround tasks. There are challenges to this method and we are always trying to improve through retrospectives. Thanks for your advice to the management. With regards to personal development each person has a personal development plan, we have a healthy training budget and free days throughout the year for training. In conclusion, I'm sorry you felt left out of the Ignite team, and I'm sorry we weren't able to help you fit in. We wish you all the best in your next role.

Vantaggi

Central Office location, short walk from Piccadilly Gardens Free fruit delivered to the office twice a week An occasionally filled snack box, varying in chocolate, sweets and crisps PS4 -- tournaments at lunch (usually Fifa) bringing employees together Decent training budget along with training days to improve employees personal develpment Amazing environment, some of the best people to work with, everyone is friendly, fun, and it is a place i enjoy coming to each day Senior management recognize there past mistakes and are making improvements and changes to the company for the better Dev manager is a delight, is making fast and noticeable changes to improve the companies future and improve quality of life Free lunch Friday before payday Beer o clock 4pm friday (beer included) Office music

Svantaggi

Company has had a rocky past, many previous bad mistakes made have had lasting effects on the company however improvements are trying to be made As much as the training budget is good, its hard to find time for training with the workload, often when training days for the devs have been scheduled in they have been pulled off for "urgent" issues that have come up Every issue seems more "urgent" than the last, often having 2 or 3 "highest priority" which is just gets confusing since to devs 3 hp jiras are all equal in priority when often they are not Although less than the past office politics still linger in some scenarios Not enough experienced developers/testers
