November Five Reviews

Environment: One of the key things I looked at during my interviews was always the environment where I would end up. In almost every interview I ever did, I always felt a bit like "just a number". This wasn't the case when I first walked into the office back in 2012. In the 5 years I've worked there, it always felt to me like a second home. I can honestly say that it will be hard finding a more open and friendly environment. Colleagues: Back in 2012 it was still a rather small company when I joined, but everyone made me feel like I was already part of the team for years. Up till 2017 I've seen many come and go, but never have I had a real issue with anyone. You can walk up to anyone's desk (literally), sit down, ask a question, and you'll always get an answer. I've never met anyone who was not willing to help me out if I was stuck on a problem or if I just wanted to have a chat. The commuting (+1h drive) part is hard for me, but offer me the exact same job straight across my street with a different team and I'll still decline it. Oh and don't forget the legendary "weekend" which happens every year and the parties they give now and then. It's where those colleagues will become friends instead. Benefits: There are also a lot of smaller benefits which makes this place unique. There's fresh fruit every day available for you. They offer a variety of breakfast options. Every day at lunch you can grab something to eat made by the kitchen team and for the Friday evenings, there are some beers in the fridge. ;) Growth: The most important one for me personal is growth. November Five gives you every chance to develop yourself on a professional level (knowledge sharing), personal level (coaching through TICkA and twice personal review every year) and since 2017 also on a physical level (membership at The Brick in Antwerp). People tend to forget that the most rewarding thing for a human being is growth. If you cannot grow you cannot become your best, and if you cannot become your best, you cannot be happy and if you cannot be happy, what else matters?. -- Oh and if anyone would ask him/her-self by now the question: Then why did you leave? They gave me the opportunity to start (read: grow) at one of their own product companies. So on a contract level I've left, on a physical level I'm still there.

November Five is a energetic company led by young and passionate people. It's a place where you will have a chance to be challenged with interesting projects and at the same time learn a lot. What I really like about November Five is the human aspect that today can be rarely found by other companies. Being human means that at November Five people will listen to you if you have something to say, help you if help is needed, grow and develop you if you show passion and most importantly treat you as a human. If you show passion and commitment, November Five is a company that will recognize that and proactively reward you. And if things at a certain point don't go so great, November Five is a company that will explore together with you new opportunities and positions where you might fit within the company. Next to things like the cool office, healthy lunch, smartphone, MacBook laptop, company car etc. it's the small things that separate November Five from other companies. Small things like your manager coming over and giving you a tap on the back and asking you how is your day going, asking you and showing sincere interest in how your weekend was, remembering and celebrating important moments in your life... just being HUMAN. And that's exactly why you will call November Five your home.
