Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, people are friendly, open environment, awesome office, frequent perks, feedback and imput on how to improve the company are encouraged, ok for a first job.

Cons

Management not great in all departments, some heads of department can't manage effectively, really not good with people. Problems that seem pretty obvious are not addressed but skirted around and turned into something else. Projects are incredibly haphazard, not much process and terrible circulation of changes. Poor communication on an individual and organisation level. I often felt patronised and frustrated by management.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We love coming to work in our beautiful office every day, so it’s great that you liked it so much too. We’re also really happy that you enjoyed the atmosphere and all the perks that come with working at Beauhurst. We also know we’re not perfect and are all committed to improving how we work. We’re aware of many of the points you mentioned and have begun working on them. For example, this year we have already: · introduced a new project management function, which is already resulting in much better run projects · improved our long term planning process, as well as getting input on and communicating plans with everyone in the company · introduced more training and coaching for all employees, including managers. In addition to these, we plan to continue to gather more feedback from current employees to help us make Beauhurst an even better place to work. Thanks again for your input.

Pros

Over the past seven months, I've been consistently impressed by three things. First, there is a genuine commitment to quality. Whether it's the underlying datasets, product development, or research output, people care deeply about getting things right and making information genuinely useful for customers. Second, there is a strong culture of intellectual curiosity. Teams are encouraged to ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, and focus on evidence rather than hierarchy. I've found colleagues across Product, Engineering, Data, Insights, New Business and Subscriber Growth to be collaborative, thoughtful and commercially minded. Third, the people are excellent. Beauhurst combines high standards and ambition with a refreshingly low-ego culture. Problems tend to be approached with curiosity and a desire to find solutions rather than assign blame. For someone joining from outside the business, that has been one of the most pleasant surprises.

Cons

As with any fast-growing company, priorities can evolve quickly and there is often more opportunity than resource. That creates a healthy level of challenge, but it can also mean balancing competing priorities and making pragmatic decisions about where to focus attention. Because people care about outcomes and move quickly, there can sometimes be a lot happening at once. New joiners who prefer highly structured environments may need a little time to adapt.
