38. - CO N N O R DAV I S O N , J U N I O R D E V E L O P E R “This job has given me so many opportunities. Working with up- to-date technologies (Symfony 2.6+, PHP 5.6+, etc.) as well as experiencing an enterprise workflow with healthy separation of concerns (QA/BA/DBA). I’ve also learned about enterprise development practices, standards & architecture plus, worked with various third-party software/services and learn about methods of integration.”
39. - G R A E M E C L I F TO N , D E V E L O P E R “For me personally, working at Wren has been a great experience. There are many attributes, which as a developer I find appealing. The development work is fast paced & agile. The continuous integration means new features, bug fixes and improvements are released when they are ready rather than saved for a big bang version release. We use Jenkins + little bit of Rundeck for deployments/recurring jobs. There is a ‘drive’ to do things correctly rather than cut corners which is refreshing!”.
40. – P H I L I P T W I D L E , J U N I O R JAVA S C R I P T D E V E L O P E R “Working at Wren after coming straight out of university has allowed me to develop my skills from having nearly no experience, to being a vital member of the team. Starting fresh as a JavaScript and C# developer, the team welcomed me and understand any issues I came across, no matter how small. I’d recommend any level of developer to apply to Wren, as they give you the freedom to learn and adapt to the standards that are needed for the job. Everyday has an agile scrum meaning that you’ll always have the support that’s needed no matter what from all developers on the team.”
41. – S Y E D A L I , JAVA S C R I P T D E V E L O P E R “I was first interviewed as a PHP developer but was intrigued by the planner as a piece of technology, especially after being told it was all written leveraging HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. I had seen CAD software usable in the web before and also web photo editing packages; but never the opportunity to dig into and learn them. Having worked on very formal, server side, business management systems, working on something interactive like this was interesting. There was also a great opportunity to learn; by doing things other companies would not be offering experience in.”
