    Pros

    • good work life balance possible (in 10 reviews)

    • Flat hierarchy, Agile methodology followers (in 4 reviews)

    Cons

    • The company is probably not as well recognised as it should and hopefully will be for the good people it has and work it does (in 3 reviews)

    • No cons that I can think of, the only thing I would say is that the recruitment process took a long time but it's definitely worth persevering (in 3 reviews)

      Pros

      Although EE are a company that is staffed mainly by contractors (75%) you would never know this.

      They say they are a company of grown ups and this is definitely the case, structure is flat, everyone is trusted to do their jobs and there is none of the usual politics or nonsense you get in almost all other companies.

      As an associate (contractor) you really get the best of all worlds as you get paid great day rates and have a fantastic support network and welcoming culture.

      If you are a contractor at the top of your game then look no further, if you are thinking of going contracting then look no further. EE is the place to be

      Cons

      None that I can think of

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up - I'm proud to work with EE

      Pros

      - Life work balance and Flexibility
      - Very kind and understanding Senior management team
      - Highly skilled, professional and resourceful company

      Cons

      - Visibility on internal vacancies could be improved
      - They gain lots of traction and their clients have big expectations. But not all their teams are at full capacity. Regardless of that they manage very well to move forward no matter the challenge.

      Advice to Management

      Aim to supply your teams always. Make sure all your dev teams have a business analyst close to them and they have all they need. Improve the visibility of your internal vacancies.

      I have been working at Equal Experts full-time

      Pros

      Equal Experts brings a refreshing twist to the standard IT consultancy. It puts together talented professionals, caring people and exciting projects. You have the flexibility to try new things without the corporate noise to hinder every idea or initiative.
      But what is most impressive is the care for each and every one of its employees (associates or permanent).

      Cons

      The sudden growth exceeded everyone's expectations, and now the admin side is catching up. A good problem to have

      Advice to Management

      keep up the good work!

      Pros

      Genuinely inspiring people work here.
      Great projects.
      All projects modern and Agile
      They employ or contract great people and let them get on with it
      No rigid structure.

      Cons

      Might be nice to hear about the other project / teams a bit more

      Advice to Management

      Don't lower the bar! This is working great. And thanks for having me.

      Pros

      It's a fantastic and supportive environment. I am surrounded by people that are great at what they do and it's true what they say, it's a company of grown-ups.

      Cons

      There's no career progression, as there is a flat hierarchy - but that's not a con, because I like the flat hierarchy but could be seen as a negative to others.

      I have been working at Equal Experts (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      EE provides the opportunity to grow and learn every day no matter how experienced you are. The flat structure means everyone can put forward an idea and if it's good, you make it happen. I love working with grown ups but we still have fun. The company is growing and changing so rapidly but the specialness which is EE is still there

      Cons

      Keeping on top of all the new business as it changes all the time

      Advice to Management

      We must keep reminding ourselves why we were founded and we must never forget the value of non-technical people too who work with technical people to make this company such a success in the wonderful world of technology

      Pros

      All senior members at the top of their game so there is a huge pool of wealth and knowledge to both feed into and learn from. Contractors are treated the same and permanent senior employees from the start. All ideas, thoughts and suggestions for improvements are valued and you will have the opportunity to work with all the latest technologies with some large well known clients.

      Cons

      Multiple geographical locations can be a challenge when trying to put a face to a name. Given both the calibre of contractors at Equal Experts and the client base, there is little known about the company unless you have had dealings with them before.

      Contractors truly treated as consultants
      Encouraged proactivity
      Maintains high benchmark from what I have seen. Constantly striving for excellence.
      Possible to carve out long term contract renewals, if you want.

      Cons

      6 months into contract I have one so far

      Advice to Management

      none so far
