Pros
- One of the only product-design consultancies in London that offer Engineering as one of their services - There was a great team culture when I was employed there - There was a decent variety of short term projects - In-house workshop (rare for London) that employees could use freely - Great "can-do" attitude amongst the staff - Direct line of communication to management if desired - Some allowance for personal development
Kontras
- Very stretched Technical Team (resource-wise AND "hard" skills-wise) puts a heavy burden on individuals to get projects over the line - Not much New Business Development and heavy reliance on a few big clients for most of the company's revenue is quite a stressful environment to work in - Odd focus and spending of resource on internal projects which don't appear to have any benefit for the wider company (not particularly good for upskilling or generating marketing materials) - There is some disconnection / disjointedness in experience of "how things are going" between management and resource / workers
