Pros

I've had the incredible opportunity to work at Daye, and it has truly been a game-changer in my career and personal growth. This company is not just about business; it's about a passionate mission to make a meaningful impact on women's health. From day one, I was welcomed into a team of dedicated individuals who are not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to their work. The leadership at Daye is exceptional, with a clear vision and an unwavering commitment to improving gynaecological healthcare for all women. I've never met a more hard-working person than the founder and I can't quite understand how she always makes time for everyone and everything. What sets Daye apart is its commitment to innovation. We're not afraid to tackle huge, challenging issues, such as the gender health gap and the lack of innovation in period care. It's incredibly inspiring to be part of a company that is pushing boundaries in complex fields. The work environment is nurturing, collaborative, and full of opportunities for personal and professional development. Daye invests in its employees, providing resources for ongoing learning and growth. It's a place where your ideas are not only welcomed but also valued, regardless of your role or experience level. Daye's culture is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a shared sense of purpose. We celebrate each other's successes and support one another during challenges. It's a warm atmosphere and I look forward to coming to work every day. The office is pet-friendly, which also helps. If you're looking for a workplace where you can make a real difference, grow as a professional, and be part of a supportive community, Daye is the place to be. Daye also has a great reputation in the industry and is a solid stepping stone for future professional opportunities.

Cons

While our mission is inspiring and our team is passionate, budgets can be tight and the company does have financial limitations. This means that we often need to be creative in the way we get our work done. It's a place where you'll learn the art of negotiation, as you're encouraged to negotiate every contract or invoice. It can definitely feel daunting knowing that you have to operate on a shoestring budget. This has improved more recently as the company has attracted new grant funding, which makes some of the R&D projects in particular easier to manage.

Pros

I loved my time at Daye as that experience unlocked a host of opportunities for me, both personally and professionally! I was given ample chances to grow by leading key company projects. I would also want to emphasize how collaborative and open-minded the team was. Every suggestion or recommendation was thoroughly evaluated based on its merit rather than random preconceptions! I would definitely recommend Daye as a place to work and grow!

Cons

Nothing particular beyond the typical high intensity of working at a startup. I wouldn’t say it was terrible and management definitely strived to make it easier to cope with by providing free access to coaching and other relevant resources.

Pros

- The company’s mission and vision are strong and inspiring on paper. - A few talented and hardworking individuals genuinely try to do their best despite the environment. - Provides an opportunity to learn resilience and how to navigate difficult workplace dynamics.

Cons

- Efforts to do the right thing are punished rather than encouraged. - Major decisions that affect employees are often communicated poorly, with little transparency or respect for those impacted. - HR lacks independence, with key roles tied too closely to the founder/CEO, creating zero trust if you raise concerns. - Leadership can present a supportive face, but when real issues are raised, promises are made and then quietly withdrawn. Instead of addressing concerns, criticism is redirected toward the employee, often with harsh and demoralising feedback. - Strong favouritism for “yes-man” behaviour rather than merit or constructive contributions. - Gossip and cliques foster a toxic, divisive culture that undermines collaboration and trust.
