Pros

Fantastic CEO and staff, everyone is dedicated to the overall mission and have a lot of empathy. Exciting and engaging work that really feels like giving back to the world. Great research focus. Depending on the line manager, flexible to work/life balance.

Cons

Poor planning means no guaranteed full time work or roles, with the constant worry if you will have work the next week or not. There will be no forewarning and no role appears safe. Management don't seem to respect or value all roles or departments in the company equally and makes decisions without considering the ramifications. A lot of overtime is expected as the norm.

Pros

They really care about making the company a nice place to work, a lot of support is provided. The people are great, both on a personal and intellectual level.

Cons

There is a distinct lack of recognition for some people’s work and experience through both hiring them at incorrect job titles and not adequately promoting them so their title reflects what they actually do. In addition the pension package is very low compared to other companies.

Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way, and fully appreciate the importance of ensuring people’s job titles accurately reflect their contribution, so they feel recognised both within and outside the company. We therefore regularly compare our job architecture to that of other companies to ensure our job titles, expectations and compensation are equitable and comparable. Having done this comparison a few times, we realised that, on average, our people access higher job levels after fewer years of experience than in other companies. This, in our opinion, is a reflection of the skills and qualities of our team members, and of the fact that we are the leading company in a new space: our people are charting new territories every day and therefore climbing higher learning curves. We encourage open dialogue of our team members with their managers on career expectations and charting their own course.
