Pros

- awesome colleagues - informal atmosphere - lots of opportunities as long as you are interested in them - growing fast - multinational - great location - cool premises, above average canteen, for the Dutch standarts - regular fun events

Cons

Everything is treated as an experiment to prove if it’s efficient in the short term. If its not, it gets discarded. This includes people too: as long as you are full of energy and initiative, things are rolling, but if for some reason you lose the heart, you’ll get replaced by someone with more energy available. So when you feel that you lose the focus, be proactive and find a way to stay motivated, or get lost. On the grander scale of things, the whole company development is the living example of how to develop a complex system using TDD approach + organic growth philosophy, with all advantages and disadvantages of that.

Pros

pay is reasonably good, as is the location in the city centre of manchester and the new office building is very impressive.

Cons

another web based company who have made so many failed attempts in the last 3 years at a mobile presence it's embarrassing. the quality of the engineering is pitiful, with the obsession on quick fixes and hacks to increase 'conversion' as opposed to anything scalable or robust. from the top down, the bullying, call-centre culture the business was borne out of still permeates. if you are a software engineer wants to be challenged, rentalcars is not for you. if you want to argue the toss about a/b testing on native apps, or backend api design with inept managements then fill your boots. as an aside to this, the hours are unusually long (40/week) and there is absolutely nothing in terms of personal development or staff perks. you even have to provide your own coffee - archaic...
