Design Jam @ Webcredible 2016 - Intern Webcredible Employee Review

The company culture is fantastic - I've never had so much fun working somewhere and made genuine friendships. The people are by far Webcredible's strongest asset. The work is quite varied and you're able to shape what you do to not just suit your schedule (e.g. working from home when you need to) but also your long-term learning plans. There's encouragement for trying new things and making things happen. I learned an enormous amount while working there, and had a great time doing it.

While I was there, it was a company that's stuck in an awkward growth stage, going from small-scale entrepreneurial start-up to a medium sized business. With that came a few issues: there often weren't clear processes or hierarchies to get things done, and it could feel a bit touch and go at times to get something done. Additionally, I think it's a company that needs a bit more strategic direction as it goes through its growth - things like target clients, target income, target projects, target ROIs and budgets, etc. weren't established, making activity a bit all over the place and disorganised.

This morning I received an email from our CEO to congratulate me on my 1st Webcredible birthday!! So it seems like the perfect time to reflect on the past year here.. and I honestly couldn't be happier in my new home from home (seriously, slippers and cosy blankets are often spotted around here!) I feel so fortunate to work with an array of incredibly talented people & to have the opportunity to learn from them every day. It’s also an amazing place to try new things, take risks and see your hard work come to fruition, with the support of the whole team behind you. Our Leadership Team are unbelievably supportive and trusting, and have created an amazing culture, which truly is at the heart of everything we do here. A year later and I really couldn’t be happier. This is unlike any place I have ever worked, and I strongly suspect that anywhere else would struggle to compete.

If you brought back Monday morning massages, it really would be the cherry on top of a pretty awesome cake :)
