Pros
- A People focused business, Senior Management very approachable and care about employees including their future success - An ever improving culture (driven by new Chief People Officer and Senior Management), recent programs run by the team and encouragement around the teams has been great - Exciting future for the business with recent acquisitions of new Senior Management including a new COO who is delivering an exciting vision (and actually executing on this vision) - A structured but not burdening approach to performance management with business, team and personal goals is great and I like this approach - The business has been an online office for 20 years, currently they’re investing in new tools to improve the current setup and I'm excited for future - Once a year team trip whereby everyone from across the globe meet up in one location (mix of business and fun) - A diverse team, working with friendly team members across the world is a real plus. The business each week encourages a 15 minute non work related call to engage with everyone in the business - People are passionate about their work and it's great to work with the team - Perks include: allowance to purchase your own laptop (Apple/PC is fine), gym/sport allowance and working from home office allowance and being an Interaction Design Unicorn!
Kontras
- Coming from working in an office to 100% online it took some time to adjust, I try to get out a few times a week with others from the business and use co-working spaces which is a top fix - Time zones can be challenging at times, but we get around this by comprising within our teams to at times; an example being once a fortnight doing an hour or so early or later. Not a big issue at all, but I do love my sleep! - The founders previously were more visible within the business, it would be great to hear a bit more from them at team meetings and around the channels
