Pros
The people - the team (both UK and Auz) is incredibly supportive, hard-working and a lot of fun. I know it’s cliché but it does have a family feel Our product – it’s awesome! It's extremely exciting to be part of something which is really making a difference to the future of education Autonomy – there's no formal hierarchy, there is the trust and flexibility and support when needed Social – there are regular and varied social events in the UK which are a lot of fun. I know that is the case in Australia too. Strong focus on employee wellbeing, especially with the recent introduction of extra paid leave for employee’s wellbeing and volunteering days.
Cons
As the Head Office is based on Sydney, the time difference can be difficult when you need to speak to certain people. However, people are pretty accommodating for this and a lot has been put in place to strengthen the communication lines. With remote staff in the UK, you aren’t always together at the same time but we make this work and certainly make the most of the time we do have together!
