Pros

- nice people - relatively relaxed workplace - working on important problems - open to flexible working

Cons

- pay is below market rate - pay transparency is poor - promises made by recruiters are a little misleading (unlimited holiday policy is unclear and not as generous as you might imagine. private medical insurance doesn't seem to be provided even though it was promised)

Hey there Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really glad to hear that you’ve had positive experiences with the team, our flexible working approach, and the meaningful work we’re doing—it’s something we truly value. I also want to acknowledge the concerns you’ve raised. We understand that pay is a crucial factor, and we recognise the need to stay competitive in the market. This is something we’re actively reviewing to ensure fairness and transparency across the board. We’re also aware that clarity around benefits like our unlimited leave policy and private healthcare (which is available through a salary sacrifice scheme) could be improved. Your feedback has highlighted where we can do better in communicating this, and we’re taking that seriously. To help address these concerns, we’re currently investing in manager training to ensure our leaders are better equipped to set clear expectations and communicate policies effectively. We appreciate your honesty—it’s feedback like this that helps us grow and improve. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Matt Head of Talent
