Pros

I've found there are a lot of pros to working at Lane4: - Flexibility in terms of where, when and how I work; - Generally high quality management and leadership throughout the organisation; - People are genuinely caring, both about other employees and about making a difference to organisational performance or people's working lives; - Pay and benefits for consultants is good, especially considering that the organisation isn't London-based; - The people are fantastic and there's a great sense of humility despite the elite performance/Olympic side of the organisation; - It's generally a really fun place to work; - Great new office that caters to different people's preferences; - A coaching approach runs deep in the DNA of the business and the culture; - The Managing Director, Adrian Moorhouse, is seemingly universally liked and really cares about the organisation so doesn't just want to 'sell out'.

Cons

No organisation is perfect and I believe there are the following cons: - Maidenhead isn't where most people want to end up; - People sometimes don't feel able to say they're 'stressed' out of fear of being seen as lacking 'personal resilience'; - There are one or two senior leaders who can be quite intimidating and demonstrate some level of intolerance for others and their ideas which inevitably doesn't bring the best out of people; - Certain individuals and teams end up working quite long hours, perhaps partially due to their desire to do a great job; - For an organisation that places such a high premium on high performance, I would say that the only thing that motivates high performers is opportunities for progression as the bonus structure is average at best.

Hello, thank you for sharing your perspective. We are really proud of our culture, our colleagues and about what it feels like to work at Lane4. It is therefore sad to read that you felt that we have been inconsistent with living our values and fallen short of the high standards we set ourselves. Like with everyone leaving a comment here, it would be very helpful to understand your experience in greater detail and how you feel we might be able to do things better in the future. If you had a moment, I'd be delighted to hear more, so please feel free to email me at: Tina.oldham@lane4.co.uk

Thank you for sharing your perspective here on Glassdoor. We're glad that you feel Lane4 is a great company to work for - even though at times you feel you are overworked. Naturally this is far from ideal, and we would be really interested in hearing more about how we might do things differently going forward. Please feel free to share your thoughts with me directly at: tina.oldham@lane4.co.uk. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
