Pros

I really enjoyed my time at SM. There are lots of opportunities to learn and as the team isn’t huge, you get exposure to multiple parts of the business. There are talented and passionate people that work there which makes it a very lovely environment and great place to go into every day!

Cons

It wasn’t a con for me personally and it was changing when I left but career progression isn’t always clear, which may not suit everyone.

Pros

I worked at SquareMeal for four years and really enjoyed the experience. There are always going to people who don't enjoy their role for personal reasons but I found that the management team we're really open with the direction and aspirations for the company, and that they really wanted everyone to be enjoy their work and progress in their positions. Working in editorial there are a lot of opportunities to experience amazing restaurants and work with lovely, like-minded people in a happy team who are all passionate about what they do. It's also a small enough team that all ideas are considered, so even when you're a bit more junior you can have your voice heard and make tangible differences in process or output. In terms of work/life balance it's great too, with flexi-time, working from home and plenty of holidays. We were also never expected to stay late tor start early, which I appreciated from a culture perspective.

Cons

It can feel like editorial and sales sometimes feel as if they're working on different projects, when in fact everyone has the same goal. So more collaboration between the teams would be good for everyone.

Pros

Excellent company to work for, with a great management based on transparency and trust - promises are kept without chasing (which wasn't something I have experienced in other companies) Feel great to go to the office with such a good atmosphere

Cons

I am not a big fan of instant coffee but that is just personal taste
