I met some really nice people while I worked at elder. They send you a nice prosecco gift when you reach a milestone i.e. a year.

Minpunten

- The culture is horrendous. Multiple people in the past 6 months have needed to be signed off for mental health reasons as a direct impact of the way leadership set up the culture, and those who don't feel able to talk openly about their mental health just quit because it is so toxic - Alot goes unsaid at Elder. There is alot of patting ourselves on the back but not acknowledging the real issues. - The internal employee NPS score is shocking and has just gone down and down over the past year. Leadership more often blame the pandemic and the disconnectedness that people feel as a result of that. - People are fired without any acknowledgement, and management are so poor at giving feedback that often the people who are being let go are completely blindsided - Senior hires have been made who unapologetically restructure teams and make redundancies in order to bring in colleagues from their last company into the business - Talented hires have been made through misleading interview processes, which suggest the business is in a far better place than it is. Meaning, people start and quickly realise they have been duped. - Unsurprisingly, the service Elder provides its customers is shaky at best and appalling at worst

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. It’s unfortunate to hear that you left Elder being overall dissatisfied with your experience with us. We do believe everyone has the right to comment, but we also do think on this occasion that this is not an accurate reflection of Elder. We do take the mental health of all our employees very seriously and have had several initiatives like Spill, Mental Health sessions, listening sessions etc and we’ll continue to build on these programmes. Overall, the past 12 months have been challenging for all at Elder but it has also been amazing to see people rally and work closely together to not only get us through the COVID pandemic, but also deliver a market-defining Carer Value Proposition. We are confident that we are setting ourselves up to scale the right way and we will continue to work hard to ensure we drive change for the better. If you have any further feedback and ideas to help us improve, please do share via people@elder.org We wish you the best of luck in your future career opportunities. Thanks, Elder Team

Pluspunten

Elder is a mission-driven company filled with passionate, motivated people who work tirelessly to improve the lives of older adults and their families. Across the board, my colleagues are dedicated, collaborative, and incredibly hard-working. There's a real sense of purpose in what we do, and it shows in the culture and day-to-day work. What sets Elder apart is its resilience and honesty—qualities that are rare. It’s a place where people genuinely care and push together toward meaningful impact.

Minpunten

Like many start-up and scale-up businesses, it’s had to adapt and pivot along the way, but these changes have always been thoughtful and aligned with the company’s long-term vision.
