Pros

Great culture High quality work and staff Impactful work

Cons

Nous are probably 10-20% below competition in terms of remuneration. They say money makes up “only a portion” of their total remuneration package but it’s such a naive view to take - obviously people are mostly driven by money. I personally know both people that have left due to lack of salary progression and others that refused to apply when they found out the starting salary. It’s a cycle that unless addressed will lead to a decline in quality of staff and work. They also have a serious diversity problem at the manager level and above

Always tough to read a harsh review. As the CPO I take responsibility for the vision, style and approach of the people team. I would hope that we are not stuck in the middle ages, but rather are open minded and progressive. I apologise if our approach to EDI is embarrassing as we pay attention to it and it is important to us. We get positive feedback from Nousers on our inclusive culture and the continued improvement around this important aspect of work and society, while recognising that we can always be better and that the world doesn't sit still so we must be open to ongoing improvement and change. We will keep working at it.
