Pros

- I joined Add People with very little SEO knowledge and left with a lot. - Everyone in the SEO department, from junior-level to director, is super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. - The culture is really good. Quarterly department socials, company-wide summer BBQ & Christmas party, occasional drinks after work depending on who's in - all of which aren't compulsory or pressured to attend. - Management across the board (or at least those in SEO & HR) are very much in tune with neurodiversity and will look out for you as best as they can.

Cons

- The pay is well below industry standards and is the main reason everyone leaves. To get a pay raise or promotion, you'll have to jump through many hoops (and potentially work on the weekend depending on your KPIs and available time you actually have). Also, if your line manager isn't in charge of promotions or raises, your growth can be stalled, even if they think you're ready for the official step up, and have been operating at the senior level for months. - The company, or SEO department (I'm not too sure who was in charge of the decisions) have made changes that did a great job in demoralising the team, like 3 days mandatory in the office. - The first 3 days of your holiday come out of your PD time, which realistically, no one has the time to do anyway - which means your workload will remain the same if you only take 3 days of holiday. (Worthwhile asking if this is still the same as it was up in the air for a few months before I left) - Some account managers ask too much of the execs; this didn't happen too much with me, but there were many times you'd talk to your colleague and they're feeling a lot of pressure to deliver well beyond what was actually possible. - As much as I love the team, there isn't always a willingness to help each other unless you ask someone directly. I know this isn't their fault as so many people in the team feel stressed beyond belief to get the work done, so they'd naturally get that done first.

Thank you for your feedback. Working weekends is not something we encourage, all colleagues have regular 121s with their line managers whereby they can openly discuss workload and gain any support needed in terms of working toward agreed KPI's.

Pros

Sociable Some nice colleagues Nice park next to office

Cons

Management overall very much chaotic. Nepotism is rife with upper management (everyones related to each other or are together). Low salary, and high workload. You're expected to be in office 5 days a week (big requirement for such a laughable salary), meanwhile the office floor is so noisy, people just straight up have full conversations next to you when you're doing a client call, making it a hard environment to focus and work in. Overall I just got such a weird vibe - everyone puts on an overly positive front, but once I got to know some colleagues better, I found out that everyone was struggling with the same issues I was too. It's no wonder turnover is so bad. In the few months I worked here, my entire team was almost all new people as everyone I started with left!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that your time with us felt this way. Recruitment and promotion decisions are based on role requirements, performance and capability, and we continually review our governance and leadership structures to ensure fairness and transparency. We recognise that workload, salary expectations and office environment all contribute significantly to colleague experience. If colleagues are in the office, we hope in-person office presence supports collaboration, development and performance, but we understand that this won’t suit everyone.

Add People have a great working environment where no question is too silly and everyone is more than happy to help. With a fairly young age range in terms of staff its a welcoming and relaxed hub where the work gets done but you can have fun at the same time. If you need any special working requirements such as a form-fitting chair or erganomic mouse, Add People are happy to provide to make sure the your equipment is suitable for you.

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at the moment.

Pros

- Great support into role and plenty of support. - Insightful knowledge in Digital Marketing - Everyone is friendly

Cons

Activities/Inductions could be spread out. For example, splitting up the induction so there's two days when you first start and other inductions after you have had been in the role for 2 months so you can be more engaged or relate to the content in the induction.

Pros

Add People has an amazing staff culture. A great mix of ages and experiences which all come together to produce a fun, friendly, and professional atmosphere. As a new starter, everyone has been incredibly friendly and approachable. Add People has a good induction process which is neither too long nor too short. I felt prepared by the end of it to join my team and begin my professional role. Add People has a strong business identity which gives a sense of pride and belonging that many businesses are lacking. Add People is located within a comfortable walking distance of Altrincham town centre, there is access to lots of independent coffee shops and bakeries. There is also a lovely park just opposite the premises which is great for soaking up the sun in when you are on your lunch. Add People is an exciting and dynamic workplace with a lot of future potential, there are lots of exciting projects in the work. Add people also have spacious staff areas and a pool table.

Cons

There is limited parking within the business premises however there is street parking.
