Pros

You are encouraged to come to work as yourself, there is no imaginary line at the front door where you have to hang up your home life and put on work life for 8hrs everyday. Being comfortable in your surroundings and making actual friends rather than just work friends made Swoon the best office environment I have ever worked in.

Cons

Due to rapid growth in 2017 the company has been split between two office locations for over a year, albeit only 10min walk apart, it still had the effect of distancing the teams. For a small company that still encounters its fair share of challenges, I believe this has had a large impact on productivity and in hindsight would have liked to be managed a lot better.

Thank you for writing your review, your feedback will certainly be noted and we're looking forward to all being under one roof again now that we've finally found the right space, having worked across the two offices for longer than we'd hoped! Thank you again! Ruth

Pros

Work from home, occasional London travel, decent pension contribution from employers.

Cons

Expected to start early and finish late Limited career progression, meaning limited earning potential Management / higher ups go beyond being unkind, borderline bullying, cried often as did many of the other staff. Very large staff turn over for such a small company. You will get publicly called out for any minor detail that is wrong, expected to go above and beyond for mid pay Always the promise of progression that will never come into fruition. Expected to log in late at night / Christmas Day etc No work life balance
