Pros

The culture is good because US contingency is still relatively small. Good people.

Cons

Sometimes scattered goals which require pivoting on a dime. Sometimes unclear who is running what project so there is a lot of re-work that seems unnecessary

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We’re glad that you’re having a good experience of working at Simply Business. As you may have heard, we are shifting to an updated quarterly planning process to ensure that we bring as much clarity as possible to our goals and targets so that SBers can do their best work. If you haven't already chatted with your manager about that new approach, we'd recommend connecting with them and providing any additional feedback to help us continually improve how this works.

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
