Vantaggi
Started at Tessella 3 months ago. It has been a steep learning curve - they give you plenty of responsibility right away - but *everyone* in the team is incredibly helpful and willing to drop what they're doing and spend time with you helping you to learn. Brilliant opportunities to grow and develop, with a high training budget and good range of training materials. Friendly team. Management make the effort to talk and listen to you - I'm at the lowest technical grade but regularly chat to senior members of staff all the way up to the CEO. There are a wide range of projects that you could end up doing, so plenty of variety. Excellent work life balance to the point where leadership will intervene if you work too many hours. Working weekends is actively discouraged, as is working late. Tessella really have a focused vision and see it through.
Svantaggi
There are a wide range of projects that you could end up doing, so sometimes a project may not be exactly what you're looking for (this is the nature of the business though).
