Pros

Very convenient commute if you live in Portsmouth, easy and enjoyable to cycle to work. Supportive company policies and a friendly, welcoming office environment. Managers trust your professionalism and give you the autonomy to work at your own pace, as long as you deliver results. A great place to develop your skills and grow professionally.

Cons

Career progression can be quite slow and challenging, with limited opportunities to move up quickly. Not the ideal place if you are looking to accelerate your career or significantly step up in a short period of time.

Rifed with poor processes and management

Pros

Flexibility has always been good. They pay well but you will stagnate in experience if you join here which will garuntee that you will never be able to move on.

Cons

Progression is poor Within my 5 year tenure, there has been a management change in each year which continues to only add scope to the role of employees below that. Now my manager is redundant and we are managed by someone in another country who couldn't care less. We can literally do nothing and there would be no consequences. Since the merger, many of the smartest have left. The company continues to look for cost cutting measures where teams are now halved to what they were at the start of my time here. The processes since the merger have all doubled. Any attempts to correct things by management have only worsened things.
