Egress Software Technologies Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Pros

I’m in my tenth year at Egress & it’s an absolute joy, having seen the business grow from 20 to 300 colleagues in my tenure. Good people attract other good people, we all steadfastly support each other through thick & thin, which makes you want to come to work and make a difference. No one day is the same as the one before, it’s fast-paced and you’re always learning something new. Innovating, improving, constantly feeling a sense of achievement through your various projects. Senior leadership are always approachable; you’re listened to, you & your ideas matter. We also have regular ‘All Hands’ meetings where literally anyone in the business is given a platform to air their new tech / process etc. to the rest of the business. Learning & development training is part of your work schedule, they invest in the person & their career, even if you want a career change, it’s possible at Egress, they will support you. Regular 121s with your manager, with constructive feedback on how to continually improve. Hard work & positive results are acknowledged and rewarded. Increasingly better staff benefits (HR forums collect what is wanted & actioned). Pension, health care, a very active ‘Culture Club’, well-stocked kitchens, pool table (& a league!) and much more! Flexible working hours, plus extra eFlex half days and hours (in addition to holiday allowance – you can also buy extra holiday days). Remote working, even outside of your ‘home country’ (I’m UK-based, but writing this review whilst working in Sydney, Australia!). Or work from our offices across the UK, North America or Australia. Regular team & company socials are always fun, it’s a cliché, but we really do work hard and play hard! All this culminates in Egress’ global workforce producing a world class security platform of products that keep our satisfied customers working in safe and secure environments.

Pros

- Everyone stands by the work hard play hard attitude. This means employees often go above and beyond to help customers and fellow colleagues. - There is a brilliant social aspect to the company with monthly office socials and other great activities such as the office pool league. - For a placement student this is a brilliant introduction into the business world. Despite working in finance I have had the opportunity to work closely with sales, marketing and technical services. This has allowed me to gain a perspective of the business from multiple teams. - Despite being a placement student I have been treated the same as any other employee and given lots of responsibility which has allowed me to learn more and challenge myself. - The London office offers amazing views and a brilliant social scene with lots of bars and restaurants, a perfect location for a placement student. - The company offers lots of benefits such as free breakfast, cycle to work scheme, monthly socials, a Christmas Party and 2 annual company events.

Pros

- Talented colleagues - Honesty and transparency - Benefits refresh shows how employees are valued - Career progression is clear - Rewarding work that has a positive impact

Pros

Flexible working that focuses on delivery and using time effectively. Benefits are top notch. Everyone seems to love the work they do. There is a wonderful mix of cultures and backgrounds in a multi-national and multi-cultural setting. While the socials are there and quite varied if you choose, the day to day interactions with people are what makes everything enjoyable. We have the ability to reach out to any area of the business and get either the information or help to complete the task at hand. In my experience everyone is given the flexibility to move both laterally and throughout the organisation. There is a genuine care for you as an individual and there is real meaning behind it. Regular engagements with all staff helps keep everyone abreast of what the company is doing, how performance is measured and progress. These are all fantastic and help people advance their career's in a positive work environment.

Pros

- A welcoming and friendly team who try their best to support you from day one with your work and learning. - Offered a level of responsibility I didn't think possible on a placement. I was able to work on business critical code, putting me ahead of many other graduates. - Opportunities to move throughout the business to experience all areas you'd like to, although I chose not to move teams due to the diversity in experience I was already receiving! - Working in a growing and ever-changing business allowed me to see and experience many different working styles (large team, small squads, management changes). - Great company culture, lots of social opportunities, occasional office lunches, and various activities available to take part in outside of work. - Flexible working arrangement, offices open for use with working from home also offered, 'flexi' hours throughout the week, and trust given to all staff. - Good benefits even for placements! - Regular 'check-ins' with your line manager, as well as weekly drop in sessions if you have any issues. - 'No pressure' environment, I never felt pressured to complete work that I wasn't able to. Instead was offered help by other members of the team, and able to treat it as a learning opportunity.

Pros

- You'll meet some great people here. - Lots of socializing outside of the office. - Benefits are okay, and the free food / drink at any point of the day helps. - Location of the office is fantastic. - Comp plan is achievable.

Pros

This is my first proper job after graduating so I don't have much to compare it to apart from a few shop jobs. My time here seems to have flown by which is probably a sign that I’ve enjoyed it. When I left University I was simply looking for a job to earn money but I’m really glad I found Egress. My first bits of work were small tasks but as I showed I was capable of more I got given more complex things to do. This is a small company and very soon I was involved in working on planning projects with senior managers. We’ve just had a summer company meeting where the whole company went to a London hotel for a business update and a big party. Travelling down from Yorkshire it was like a holiday outing, with coach breakdown thrown in for extra fun. At the update the Directors talked about the problems the company was going through as some people have been fired and others have resigned. There have been a few people in my office unhappy with stuff but what impressed me was the willingness to tackle tough subjects head on and be honest about what mistakes had been made in the last few months and what the company were doing to change things. The presentations by Tony and Rich were passionate and from the heart. Just like at the kick off party in January, I sat on a table with people from other offices and it was great to meet people from other parts of the company. Then after the presentations were over, funs and games, free food, free bar, free night in hotel. Repeat twice a year. Yes please.
