Pluspunten

Honestly, very few. Some colleagues were supportive, but the overall environment overshadowed any positives.

Minpunten

The work culture is toxic, and the management style is heavily micromanaged. Despite going through an excessive interview process (4+ stages), the role did not match expectations. Ideas and past experience are not valued. Instead, you're expected to follow rigid directions without question. Employee well-being seems to be a low priority, and morale is poor across the board. It’s hard to believe the company was featured on a "Best Places to Work" list. It certainly feels more like a paid placement than an earned one. The high volume of job postings that remain open for months speaks volumes about the high turnover and lack of employee retention. Working here had a significant negative impact on my confidence and well-being. I left feeling like a different person, and not in a good way. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. It's refreshing to be now working for a company where I really do feel valued and although it's taken time to regain my confidence back, the best decision I did was leave.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We have high standards here at Protein Works because we believe in holding everyone accountable while supporting their ongoing growth. Instead of micromanaging, we focus on setting clear expectations and giving our team the trust and ownership they need to succeed. This approach helps individuals shine and drives success across the whole company. At the same time, the wellbeing of our people is a priority. We have a series of initiatives to support our teammates’ health, work-life balance, and overall fulfilment and satisfaction. Our strong focus on wellbeing is also reflected in the significant investment we made in our new state-of-the-art HQ, designed to connect and inspire our teammates while providing access to the latest technology and all the resources they need to thrive. Our commitment to our people and culture is further demonstrated by the recognition we’re extremely proud to have recently received as one of the UK’s “Best Places to Work.” This placement came from independent, anonymous, and verified employee feedback, reflecting the genuine pride and positive experiences shared by a broad cross-section of our team. We appreciate your time with us and wish you the best in your future endeavours. PW People Team

Pluspunten

Protein Works has a really welcoming team and supportive environment. Their open-door culture means you get great exposure across different areas of the business and everyone is happy to help if you have questions or want to learn more. Their new modern office is also an additional bonus! Unfortunately I had to go back to University after my internship, but would definitely go back. I strongly recommend working at PW!

Minpunten

There are no cons to note.
