Pluspunten

The company overall has a great ethos and really puts it's people first. Wonderful values that they stick to and regularly refer back to. They're extremely open and are so transparent with the business performance and strategies. Fantastic benefits.

Minpunten

It's a very fast paced environment which although I enjoy, definitely doesn't suit everyone. The bonus structure is also a little infuriating.

We’re proud to hear you describe us as an 'incredible company'. Putting our people first isn’t just a line for us - it’s central to how we operate. It’s great to know our values, transparency around performance, and the way we share strategy are landing in the way we intend. And we’ll always take 'fantastic benefits' as a win! You’re right that we move at pace. SMG is ambitious and growing, and that creates a high-energy environment that won’t be for everyone. We try to be upfront about that, while also making sure people feel supported to succeed within it. On the bonus structure - thank you for calling it out. Feedback like this is important. We regularly review how we reward and recognise our people to ensure it’s fair, motivating and aligned to our ambitions. We’ll continue to listen and evolve where needed. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Pluspunten

- Similar-minded colleagues make an enjoyable work environment. - Flexible working schedule is useful. - Managers offer freedom to develop, and work autonomously. - Good progression opportunities (only if you're lucky).

Minpunten

- The workload is AWFUL. You see it mentioned on almost every review on here, spanning years back, and they provide the same response about how they're working on it or actively looking at it. I can assure you that is a complete and utter lie. They do absolutely nothing to try and make workloads manageable, as they are constantly trying to cut costs, streamline teams, and most recently force redundancies and pay freezes. They may act performative on LinkedIn professing how much they care about your wellbeing, but they most definitely do not take any steps to make the job manageable within the time you have, and therefore everybody is stressed out and overworked. (I am sure they will provide the same banal AI-generated response here about how they're committed to making workloads more manageable, or something along those lines. Don't believe them.) - Base salaries are not competitive (partly why there's such high turnover). £33k for a Senior Executive role in London is terrible. You will also struggle to progress from there in most teams. - Disorganisation. Processes are convoluted, tedious, and waste lots of time. Too much admin & trivial nonsense is a large reason why the workload is too high (they have no idea how to solve this by the way).

We're pleased to hear that you valued the support of your colleagues, the flexibility available, and the autonomy provided by managers to help people develop in their roles. Creating an environment where people can do their best work is something we deeply care about. We also recognise the concerns you've raised around workload, processes, and remuneration. We understand that these areas can have a significant impact on employee experience, and we're sorry to hear that this was your experience during your time with us. As our business continues to evolve, we regularly review how work is prioritised, how teams are structured, and how our processes support people in delivering great work as effectively as possible.
