Amazing place to work - Anonymous employee Thatcham Research Employee Review

Thatcham Research is an exceptional place to work. The company values are genuinely embraced across the organisation, creating a culture that feels both purposeful and supportive. Since joining, I’ve been able to challenge myself creatively and think more strategically, especially in my role assessing the repairability of vehicles whilst working in a great facility, using advanced IT tools and specialist software. My direct line manager is always receptive and constructive, and the wider team fosters a collaborative and encouraging environment. The benefits package is outstanding, work life balance is good, and there is a clear emphasis on internal progression. I’ve had the chance to grow professionally through technical and soft skills training, and I’ve also been able to take on extra responsibility when comfortable. These opportunities have helped me build confidence and broaden my impact within the business. If you're considering a role at Thatcham Research, I highly recommend it. The work is meaningful, the people are great, and the opportunities for development are real.

Internal communication can sometimes be slow due to the organisation being so complex and the salary could definitely be increased to better match industry standards and the added skills required to carry out this specific role.

Thatcham Research fosters a genuinely positive and inclusive culture. From the moment I was invited to interview, I felt welcomed and supported. The interview preparation pack was thoughtfully put together, and the onboarding experience—from introductory meetings to interactions with various department heads—was seamless and encouraging. Everyone in the company is approachable, collaborative, and always willing to help, which makes settling in and growing within the company a smooth experience. The company’s values are not just words on a wall—they’re relatable, actionable, and consistently reflected in day-to-day operations. One of the standout aspects is the flexible hybrid working model, which is truly respected and enables a healthy work-life balance. Thatcham Research is a progressive organisation that puts its people first, and that commitment is evident in everything from leadership communication to the way teams are empowered to innovate and contribute.
