Pros

Goodlord is a 'people' first business. There is an engrained positive culture at the company that encourages team members to be themselves and produce amazing work. I think a lot of this has to do with the company values and how they ripple down through the SLT and managers. There is a great buzz in the office and genuine friendships have been built here. There is real focus on mental health and wellbeing - socials, running club, yoga and Sanctus coaching. Leadership do a great job communicating company goals and pains with the team.

Cons

More snacks can never hurt and we are genuinely running out of space pretty fast.

This is great to hear, thank you ! We are indeed running out of space pretty quickly (because we've grown faster than we'd anticipated, due to a few record breaking months). We're due to move offices in early 2020. We're constantly reviewing the situation and will find other solutions before then if we need to. Thanks again for the feedback.

Pros

The company is in a growing sector and has scope to deliver a genuinely impressive product. Some of the lower level staff are genuinely kind people trying to do their best.

Cons

Working at Goodlord was a distressing experience. The culture is defined by a staggering lack of professional boundaries and a management style that borders on bullying. Leadership frequently uses intimidation and public humiliation as a means of control. There is a noticeable lack of respect for expertise; management is often dismissive of qualified staff, preferring to "talk down" to employees rather than foster a collaborative environment. The office atmosphere is exclusionary and highly stressful. Communication from leadership is often unkind and impatient, with a "sink or swim" mentality that is never backed by proper training or a clear induction. There is a heavy layer of middle management but very little actual accountability or transparency regarding workload and staffing changes. It is an environment where basic human dignity feels like an afterthought, and the toll on one's mental health is significant. I would strongly advise job seekers, or those who value a professional, respectful culture, to look elsewhere.
