Pros

The organisation of the codebase is fantastic - there's even a bootstrap script to get new starters set up! The culture is great - lots of trust in people to do good work.

Cons

Work can feel unstructured at times and, despite the size of the company, everything feels rather fast-moving at times - although that probably suits some people.

Pros

Really interesting technical challenges. One of the largest Python/Django deployments in the world. Very clever engineers that are generous with their time. Real flexibility, but don't take the mickey. A mission that isn't just about making money for shareholders.

Cons

Salary is good but not top of market.
