Vantaggi

- A nice, relaxed company - Feel like you're making a difference to people - Great people to work with - HR are fab - Opportunities given to grow and develop - Some management up to a certain level were great, visible & approachable

Svantaggi

- The business model and income stream is, and has been unstable for a number of years. Huge reliance on government funding. - Huge scaling up of business based on this unstable business model. - Not many attempts to diversify business. It's now clear the business is having extreme difficulties. - Director level management were not visible, and didn't see much of them despite it being a small business really. (Actually forgot the CEOs surname until I came on Glassdoor) - Minimal discipline, expectations of objectives of colleagues - on one hand this felt relaxed, on the other at times it felt like members of the team got away with minimal work

Vantaggi

Really friendly and supportive staff. Covers a lot in 13 weeks - tech stack is relevant and useful for an entry-level job in tech.

Svantaggi

Some of the processes could benefit from review. In particular, the full-day exams held each month created significant pressure, especially as not passing could result in being asked to leave the program. Additionally, although the cohort included people new to tech, it often felt as though the majority had substantial prior experience. This disparity should be acknowledged and considered when designing assessments and pacing, to ensure the program remains accessible and supportive for those starting from scratch.
