Pros

Some good supportive staff and team environment at times

Cons

The company professes to be all about work life integration and balance, however after looking to return to work after my maternity leave, I was made feel very isolated and ask when doing my keeping in touch days what value would I add in these days and what money I could bring in otherwise they were pointless. It was never about me integrating into the company again after been a top biller at one point . It was only about what they could gain from me. All previous flexibility arrangements I had were denied at my return to work and I was pushed out . The last month of my maternity was ruined by worrying about what I could do for work as I could not work around their new requirements and lost complete faith in a company I used to hold in a high regard . Thankfully I gained a new role before needing to go back .

Thank you for your honest feedback and we will take on board all your points. We offer every employee a 100% home-based working solution, and these "flexibility arrangements" are never taken away. We offer part-time, full-time, flexible working, allowing parents school drops and pick-ups, and every one of our employees working from anywhere our solution is certainly extremely "flexible". All our employees are connected to each other like a real office environment using our tech platform - to try to ensure that every employee does not feel disconnected, and isolated. We have never knowingly "pushed" anyone out of the business. We offer every return to work employee the same job, same terms and conditions. It's not always possible to offer all the changes to these terms that people might request - and perhaps this led you to the conclusion that you couldn’t continue. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion and wish you luck with your future career.

Pros

Work from Home / Remote working

Cons

You might as well cut out the middle-man and start your own business. These guys have got no clients, no database, no network, no idea..
