Best Places to Work: 2020 (#2)
The EE network is made up of associates and permanent staff. No matter the position, we look for quality above all else – growing our numbers organically via personal referrals.
All our experts have extensive experience, and we also operate a rigorous selection process. This ensures that everyone who works for us has the skills required to thrive in the dynamic client environments that host our projects.
Our focus on only using senior people brings many benefits. With a flat structure promoting empowerment, we can operate with fewer overheads, while offering a more concentrated pool of experienced talent than our competitors. It also means our talent can focus on work that adds real value, rather than micro-managing more junior consultants.
For our clients, this all translates to better software, delivered faster and at lower cost. And for our team, it means a working environment with less politics and more freedom to innovate. Experienced people know what they’re doing – we free them to do what they do best.
As strategic partners we use industry leading strategy, design and delivery techniques to help disrupt the market, create innovative products, accelerate delivery and build world-class solutions.
With offices in the UK, US, Germany, Australia, South Africa, Portugal and India our network of over 1,500 experienced technology consultants – a blend of permanent employees and associates – work with a wide range of public and private sector clients.

We have defined our approach as a set of consulting, delivery and technical values. If they align with your way of doing things, we’d love to talk.

To celebrate a decade of Equal Experts, we asked a few members of our network – employees, associates, customers and alumni – what they value about working with us.
The following videos focus on key aspects of what has become a distinctive culture, and somewhere our people tell us is a great place to work.
We’ve been helping organisations to tackle business challenges head-on since 2007. In that time we’ve created everything from top-rated mobile apps to platforms that help government cater for millions of citizens day-in, day-out.

I worked at Equal Experts full-time (More than a year)
Pros
If you're a pragmatic contractor that loves crafting software then this is a fine organisation to be involved with.
My experience has been overwhelmingly positive - I was placed at a client with other EE people and felt valued and respected from day one. EE take care to ensure you're delivering value to clients, not just a bum on a seat, and this really shows.
The interview process at EE sets the bar higher than most and you can tell in the calibre of people they hire - not just in technical know-how but in general attitude and professionalism.
The EE network is a wonderful thing and long may it continue to grow!
Cons
They paid a bit less than some of the other consultancies engaged with the client but this is a minor grumble since the EE day rate is decent.
Advice to Management
Keep it up - the network is growing but by keeping your plans and strategy open it
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equal Experts (London, England) in February 2020.
Interview
1. Initial telephone chat with a Peoples Manager to briefly go over your experience
2. Take home technical test that consists of both manual and automated testing
3. Overly challenging pairing interview (that I did not pass), it was heavily focused on performance testing and I failed for lack of test strategy and consultancy skills even though we never actually touched on my experience of setting up QA strategies from scratch
4. next round is consultancy / hr round which I never got to
All in all, the pairing interview was tough and feel the interviewer tried hard to get me to slip up in somer regards, however my Peoples Manager is/was excellent and encouraged me to try again in 6-12 months, which I may consider and in the mean time have taken aboard some feedback and will continue to up skill as there's never any harm in that,
