Pros

Very flexible workplace. Excellent care of staff, examples; additional paid company days off, had good home working support over COVID (including financial), regular work time set aside for personal development, remote working. Technology on new products keeps to latest LTS, the few legacy products/tools are being migrated to new platforms. There is a very active tech leadership focused upon improvement both product and personal.

Cons

Pay falling slightly given the recent high inflation in the UK zone.

Hi it's Xander from the current leadership team. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review. Our Wellness Days where everyone gets additional days of holiday, spaced out throughout the year where everyone stops working to take care of themselves are a core part of our wellness offer and it's wonderful to hear they are appreciated. Personal Development is another topic that is close to the leadership's hearts so we are pleased to see many of the teams adopting regular slots for them to undertake learning activities that will help them grow. We hear you on the need to ensure that we continue our benchmarking and reward reviews to ensure that we are keeping in step with the market and benchmarking activities are planned for early next year. Coupled with this, our new high performance initiatives will see high performers rewarded for their outstanding contributions.
