Pros

Flexible working Nice team members Up to date technology

Cons

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do my job properly due to a rushed and incomplete rebrand being pushed through by senior management. The rebrand was outsourced to an external agency but shows no thought has gone into it. If you’re a designer looking to take on this role, understand you will have no guidelines to work from and the new identity has no brand personality, marketing strategy, no concept or reasoning to back it up. The business has a whole team of amazing designers but senior management choose not to involve them, prioritising their own personal politics over what’s best for the business and staff. Instead of senior management taking ownership of these poor decisions they’re passed down to the rest of the marketing team resulting in them having to leave. I received no negative feedback or constructive direction and was dismissed without warning.

Pros

It's just like working in a big, friendly, supportive team. Managers nurture and encourage growth. There's freedom to learn beyond your specified role. Feels like the products we create really make a positive difference to peoples' lives. We are treated like adults, trusted to get on with things and not micro-managed. Good core benefits, and these are being evolved and enhanced. Flexible working is fully embraced, making work/life balance a lot better

Cons

Need to keep improving the benefits eg Healthcare, gym membership etc Maybe have a series of benefits which people can choose from?

Pros

Working at Apadmi has been a rewarding experience. Even in a non-billable role, I always felt that my work was valued and that I was contributing to the success of the wider business. There is a genuine sense of teamwork across departments, and people are always willing to share their knowledge and support one another. The culture is one of the company's biggest strengths. Colleagues are friendly, approachable, and passionate about what they do. The environment encourages collaboration and provides opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and take ownership of your work. Leadership communicates openly and makes an effort to keep employees informed about company developments and goals. There is a strong focus on continuous improvement, and employee feedback is taken seriously. Apadmi is a fast-moving business, which can sometimes mean priorities shift quickly, but this also creates opportunities to gain varied experience and make a meaningful impact.

Cons

Career progression opportunities can vary depending on the team. While there are opportunities to learn and develop, clearer pathways for advancement and more consistency in development planning would be beneficial.
