Pros
The people are great, really friendly and hardworking. The teams collaborate, pulling in the same direction, improving all the time. The place has positive momentum.
Being part of a smaller organisation means there's nowhere to hide, but that's not a bad thing - It’s a growing company with big ambitions, so there are plenty of opportunities to really grow in your role.
It’s definitely a place where you get out what you put in – effort and initiative go a long way, and you are rewarded for a positive approach to decision-making and project delivery.
The products are great, and the potential for the company is huge. It has the chance to become the market leader.
I feel both cared about and listened to. I've never worked anywhere that cares this much about you and your life outside of work.
A culture of improvement, coupled with autonomy for your area of expertise, means that people have the chance to be decisive, make a real difference, and move things forwards quickly.
Cons
Some busy periods of the calendar can be full-on, as there are peaks when a lot of work is required.
Can be too numbers-focused at times.
Changing priorities can occasionally put a strain on staff and the ability to deliver objectives.
Successes aren't as celebrated as they could be - It would be good to pause briefly every now then, and enjoy more of our wins!
