Pros

- Most of the employees at tails.com are lovely to work with. It really depends on your department. - The management can be great to talk to and can be very down to earth. But this depends on your department. - When things go wrong, you're usually not alone. Some of your colleagues will normally help out. - Most employees have a very positive attitude to ideas. - Good mix of women and men in managerial positions.

Cons

- Meeting heavy. - tails.com is a face-paced company to work for. 121 meetings happen weekly but no actions seem to come out of them. They're more like therapy sessions without actionable outcomes. - Targets are high, even during COVID. It often felt that the targets were more important than the people. I don't think they're very people focused anymore. - They've outgrown their office space but they still want you in the office. - Depending on who you work with, you might experience some micro-management. - Sometimes people think they know your job better than you do. So will ignore your expertise.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. This feedback is super useful! You have some excellent ideas on how your 1:1’s could’ve been better. We want all of our team to get the most out of that one on one time and how this is done may vary for each individual. I’d encourage any team member to talk to their manager directly about how their 1:1’s are run and what they expect to get out of those meetings. Hybrid working is still quite new for us and we will be listening to everyone's feedback on how we can make this work, not only for tails.com but for people as individuals too. Many thanks, Henrik Head of People

Pros

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career.

Cons

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career. On the flip side, you trade away some control over your time and decisions, deal with office politics and bureaucracy, and face limits on flexibility and earning potential. It’s a balance of security and structure versus autonomy and upside.
