Pros

Lots of opportunities. Flexible Schedules Work-Life Balance Positive Impact On Community Great Company Culture Perks & Benefits Abundant Training & Professional Development Outstanding Reputation Passionate Team Impressive Leaders & Role Models

Cons

The company has been growing strong under the original owner's direction; however, new HR, senior leadership and new CEO killing the things that make this company great. Lots of opportunities. - Putting people into long term boring jobs under the MSP. Positive Impact On Community - removed fundraisers Great Company Culture - cancelling social events - removed internal employee representation and surveys. Perks & Benefits - Other companies are matching or betting Abundant Training & Professional Development - Limited by Covid. Outstanding Reputation - being watered down by new hiring practices Passionate Team - being removed by strangling team engagement Impressive Leaders & Role Models - beating middle managers into submission.

Pros

Flexible working and a lot of trust to manage your own time. Good salary sacrifice pension - matched 8.5% contribution. Varied projects to work on along side the day to day. Development Allowance £3000 and extra leave days to study or attend industry conferences - you can invest in your career and really drive its direction. Frequent recognition for doing a good job - managers do say thank you here. Open to new ideas - budgets sometime limit this however always open to how we can do things better. Caring people - lots of support. Global company - collaborating with colleagues in Australia / Singapore New Zealand / Ireland Hybrid working - most of us do 2-3 days in the office or at client site.

Cons

UK Offices can be very quiet; some days you cant get parked other days are very quiet (If you need a busy bustling office every day then Nova is not for you.) Promotional opportunities are limited in a smaller company, but it doesn't limit developing your skills and experience for which you will be recognised.

Thanks for this balanced honest review. You're right, we are a smaller business here in the UK; small BUT mighty! 😊 We are really glad you enjoy the benefits of working at Nova.
