It was great to begin with - Anonymous Croud Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback and for making it specific and constructive. You are hitting on one of the biggest challenges that Croud, other agencies, and indeed other businesses currently face - how to cope with rising costs when growth is slower than previous years. There are a couple of factual errors that I would like to address: 1) any investment commitments we make are always subject to business performance; this is a reminder that we should always make that super explicit in our comms, and 2) we did give a round of pay rises in April to our more junior team members who we deemed to be the priority. However, this does not negate your overall point. We 100% agree on the importance of retaining talent. We are working hard to fund further salary increases and will continue to do so, along with other benefits that make a tangible difference to everyone. We believe that bringing people together in the office is key to building our business and culture. I thought we were OK on desk space so if not please raise any concerns with your local leadership team. We know about the pressure on car parking and are working on a solution. Your point on travel cost is noted, as above, we will continue to work on remuneration as we understand the economic situation that everyone is facing.
