Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Excellent work/life balance Remote working Decent pay structure Employee recognition, spot bonuses Good, well defined career pathways
Cons
Can be quite fast paced and somewhat reactive Many departments feel under staffed
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Great people. Flexible working in terms of start/finish times and work life balance good, but on par with most tech companies.
Cons
Please pay attention to the many similar 4 and 5 star reviews that were published on the same date (e.g. 30th Sept 2021), the company are trying to improve how they look on Glassdoor. Make of that what you will... Poor salary, can achieve almost double for the same role elsewhere. Rewards/bonus/pay rise schemes often change but never account to much. Role changes/progression receive very little salary improvement, you need to leave to see any improvement. The company is trying to make itself more attractive by making things like flexible working times official despite this already being the case for many years for some teams.
Continue readingThanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to see you call out the wonderful colleagues we have at Advanced. We are always looking for honest, authentic reviews from the people that work here on what life is like at Advanced. We got a good chunk of our people together for the first time in two years as we held our Best Practice Sharing Summit in September. You're absolutely right; there are a lot of reviews from this time as we asked the attendees to leave honest reviews of their experience with us. We're continually looking to improve the employee experience through various feedback channels, from our engagement survey to channels like Glassdoor. Our new approach to flexible working for all is the direct result of feedback from colleagues who have shared their view in the same way you have. We are transparent with our reward philosophy, we hire for potential and pay for high performance with an opportunity for pay progression through our quarterly Talent Reviews. If you would like to discuss this further or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Jordan.Cooper@oneadvanced.com. Thanks again for leaving a review, and all the best.

Innovative, forward thinking, inclusive with great internal mobility
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I have seen massive change at Advanced over my tenure to becoming an enlightened employer. Providing truly inclusive opportunities to all regardless of background, focusing on ability and talent. Initiatives such as flexible working and summer Fridays gives work life balance.
Cons
None, hard work and engagement is recognised and rewarded, voices are heard
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
I have worked in this company long enough to watch it grow and it’s been a pleasure being on this journey of learning and improving with everyone. The company has been working organically growing, retaining and growing talent, or taking care of its people through engagement and Diversity and Inclusion initiative to tackle issues we have in terms of our culture. All this fills me with optimism about my career as a woman in Advanced and in particular in software sales. That’s not to say the company doesn’t have a way to go, but employees feel more heard by leadership and employee empowerment has become a key priority. We have a selection of great offices, friendly and approachable leadership, good onboarding programmes, flexible working and initiative aimed at improving work life balance such as Summer Fridays (trialled successfully this year).
Cons
More attention needed to rewards and recognition, more competitive packages.

Pros
You can move across business functions with ease, something I haven't seen elsewhere My department's managers are supportive and don't micromanage Hiring for potential instead of on CVs seems fairer for recruiting authentic talent Flexible working, you can go in to the office or work from home as you please Great office locations/design Feels like you can go and talk to anyone, no big egos Good work life balance, everything I am asked to do feels purposeful with a fair timescale
Cons
Quite low starting graduate (HPEL) salaries Work needed around getting us on the map to job seekers
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Good work-life balance. -Supportive manager. -Lots of colleagues to help you out if you are unsure of anything. -Opportunities for training and career development. -Perks such as Summer Friday afternoons off as a reward for hard work through the pandemic.
Cons
-Big organisation, so can be difficult communicating and co-ordinating with others at times. -Not always proactive in ensuring that there is adequate cover in some teams, especially when they know people are leaving/have left.
