Pluspunten

The staff is young, everyone is friendly and incredibly easy to get on with. Even in management positions. Modern offices with good facilities and free coffee.

Minpunten

Benefits are weak at the best of times and at the worst - non-existent. Be ready to be paid way below market salary regardless of the role. This includes managerial roles also. When times get hard senior management dismiss all employee concerns and pretend like they can't see how everyone below them is feeling. Seniors can even turn hostile when concerns are raised. No flexibility in working hours and no ability to work from home. Even when it was proven that it can be done. Overall - if you're interested in earning a good living this isn't the place for you.

Thank you for the feedback, and yes the coffee and facilities have been heavily invested in! Being anonymous makes it difficult to understand your experience which is a shame, so please feel free to make contact as you have my details. I don’t understand why people accept a job and then say wages are unacceptable. There is personal responsibility that needs to take priority. Not everyone values the highest salary and some like the work environment, the interesting and challenging problem solving we do on a daily basis, maybe even the location which saves them money or allows them to spend more time at home. Many individuals have received many wage increases over the years. From 2018-2019 we committed to a 10% company wide increase. Over 200 wage increases have happened since 2019 and beyond. I must disagree that benefits are “Non-existent” and it is clear that you want to paint a picture that is not accurate. We paused the bonus system and the Wheel of Awesome. Out of the 20+ benefits, I am proud of supporting benefits such as enhanced parental leave, earn additional holidays (time served), modern facilities with brand new equipment, Discount scheme on purchases, EAP programme, and the continuation of providing a free flu jab for every employee and many more benefits. “All benefits” have not been removed. “No flexibility in working hours and no ability to work from home” is a false statement. We launched a trial of SMART working / Remote working in a number of departments. Even today we have welcomed onboard a remote colleague that can deliver what is needed. It has been a tough period for colleagues and the company and I am proud of those people committed to the company who want to work together and get a job done. We have goals and aspirations which we can all benefit and prosper from. The company has a bright future with growth opportunities in products and sales channels, and our medium to long term objectives have not changed. Our values are very important to the company and through the leadership teams, we ensure our 7 values are kept at the forefront of our minds. We will continue to build trusted relationships and nurture our work family and hopefully find the fun along the way. We are proud and humble of our colleagues’ support through this period of change. Founder Nick
