Pros

Gearset made feel that pandemic doesn't mean being isolated from your team and by myself at home. There's not one day, I don't have a good laugh with my team, and since day 1 I felt so much support from members of the whole company (not just from my team). They trust me to do my best job, and I keep wanting to give my best and beyond to Gearset. I'm treated with respect and I'm given ownership to support the business. It's like a big great team! Oh and the occasional little gifts they are just cherry on top of the cake 😊 Good environment, no micromanagement, opportunities to make an impact, work life balance, free food, random gifts, team gatherings, bupa, nice salary.

Cons

The only downside is that you might never find a better place to work for after Gearset :D

Pros

- Regular social events. - Collaborative team culture. - Typical b2b saas company with good customer visibility. - L&D budget available and encouraged to use. - Hybrid/flexible work culture.

Cons

- Decision-making is centralized in UK, limiting regional autonomy. - High performance is expected but rarely rewarded with career progression. Especially in entry-level roles. - Feedback is often inconsistent and not actionable. - UHC coverage felt bare-bones for a tech company.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your experience. We’re glad to hear you felt connected to the collaborative culture, and that flexibility and learning benefits made a difference for you. Those are things we work hard to protect. On progression, it’s fair to say we’re still building. In Chicago we’ve seen teammates grow into leadership and specialist roles, and we know we need to add more structure so those paths are clearer and easier to access. Growth looks different in Chicago than in Cambridge, partly because the teams are at different stages. But the opportunities are real in both, and we’re committed to making them visible. Visibility and autonomy matter too. Our US team has significant ownership of customer relationships and plays an important role in how we scale. We’ve taken note of your feedback and plan to make it more clear when a role we’re hiring for in the UK, could be done in the US. You also shared that you were getting inconsistent feedback. Our culture only works when continuous feedback works. If that wasn’t landing for you, we need to take a closer look and make sure it’s doing what it should. Getting the right feedback at the right time is a big part of how we all grow. Feedback like this helps us keep moving in the right direction, and we’re grateful for it. Gearset’s ambition is high, and so is our belief that when Gearset wins, everyone here should feel part of that success. We really appreciate you highlighting these areas of your experience. We wish you the very best in your career and beyond, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to share more.
