Pros

Working at Goodlord is unique in the sense of numerous internal roles and opportunities for accelerated career progression vs working in corporate environments. Enhanced Maternity & Paternity pay. Regular wellbeing coaching sessions, feedback, regular catch-ups with People team, weekly company-wide updates and social events. Regular 1-2-1 with direct manager. Constant feedback and opportunities to have your views heard. Generous Personal Development Budget. Unlimited holidays and flexible WFH policies. Culture and diversity companywide. Genuine happy buzz! You meet some amazing people. The adorable pooches!

Cons

Lack of intra-team communication and projects, especially with fresh minds and individuals. Sometimes it can be useful for a new perspective or person to collaborate with other teams for broader ideas.

Pros

The company is in a growing sector and has scope to deliver a genuinely impressive product. Some of the lower level staff are genuinely kind people trying to do their best.

Cons

Working at Goodlord was a distressing experience. The culture is defined by a staggering lack of professional boundaries and a management style that borders on bullying. Leadership frequently uses intimidation and public humiliation as a means of control. There is a noticeable lack of respect for expertise; management is often dismissive of qualified staff, preferring to "talk down" to employees rather than foster a collaborative environment. The office atmosphere is exclusionary and highly stressful. Communication from leadership is often unkind and impatient, with a "sink or swim" mentality that is never backed by proper training or a clear induction. There is a heavy layer of middle management but very little actual accountability or transparency regarding workload and staffing changes. It is an environment where basic human dignity feels like an afterthought, and the toll on one's mental health is significant. I would strongly advise job seekers, or those who value a professional, respectful culture, to look elsewhere.

Pros

Good socials quarterly, nice people to work with on the whole, work/ life balance was good.

Cons

My experience at Goodlord was poor, largely due to a patronising higher management. Senior management gave little to no support, creating an environment where people felt undervalued. This was reflected in the high staff turnover, which seemed to be accepted rather than addressed. One-to-one meetings were impersonal and purely business-focused, with no genuine interest in you as an individual or in your development. Training was entirely online, poorly structured, and failed to clearly explain what the role actually involved. As a result, it was difficult to build confidence or perform well. Felt that I couldn’t ask for help — you were told you would “pick it up as you go along,” despite the lack of proper guidance or support. Overall, the culture felt dismissive, driven by management that appeared disconnected from the realities of the role and the people doing it.
