Pros
- Ambitious but rewarding company mission having a direct positive on underprivileged students across the UK. We get to experience our impact on a day-to-day basis through student success stories, events and general feedback. - Our users (students). Given the nature of our work, everyone across the company comes into regular contact with our user base and I'm consistently floored by their motivation and love of Zero Gravity. It's really motivating and a constant heartwarming reminder of our impact! - Genuinely healthy company culture where everyone is encouraged to speak up and share feedback regularly. I have been at a few start-ups where the values haven't been clear, or there is a lot of wording with no tangible action as a result. Not here! I find Zero Gravity values easy to understand and implement into my day to day. On top of this, everyone across the company is motivated by the mission and are always up for a chat over either coffee or a beer. - Exciting company networking events and projects such as our Stakeholder event, Intership & Scholarship programme and upcoming on-campus events! - Spacious, bright, plant (and snack)-filled London office right next to St Paul's Cathedral. The top-notch aircon in the summer was a lifesaver! - Flexible working scheme. We follow a hybrid system which I'm really enjoying so far. - One of the most generous bonus schemes I have been a part of alongside some great share options that are easy to understand (no start-up jargon nonsense) - £500 L&D budget to spend on your future development - Medical cover - Inclusive bi-weekly socials with some personal faves being Dishoom, golf and Top Secret Comedy Club!
Cons
Not necessarily a con but we work in a typical early-stage start-up environment where things can change quickly. You need to be flexible and open-minded when it comes to collaborating on projects with tight deadlines. While I find this exciting, it isn't necessarily for everyone!
