EssentialSkillz Reviews

Pros

I've never had the chance to work with such a switched on employer before. The company culture is incredibly open and supportive, and from my first day I definitely felt like part of the team. Focused management teams Great work-life balance and flexi-time Company benefits and events are brilliant Amazing workspaces

Cons

So far I haven't found any. None to report!

Pros

A great culture. Everybody pulling on the same direction and happy to help each other when needed. Continual growth year on year. Always looking for new products and markets to take the company forward to the next level.

Cons

Nothing comes to my mind.

Advice to Management

Keep on developing and pushing into new products and markets. Put a pension scheme in place for all. Company wide bonus scheme to celebrate success.

Pros

Management - Management at EssentialSkillz have been better than any company I have previously worked for. Being able to express ideas from a new stand point and see higher level actually interested makes you feel like you are part of the entire organisation and not just a number. Staff - I've never seen so many people motivated to work for a company and see people genuinely excited to work on a product that... helps customers it is like a big family. Offices - We have two offices with the headquarters being the modern office in Ireland, I work from the Chester office which is lovely and close to everything we need in the UK. Learning - My skills within design and coding have increased tenfold since working here, everyday I'm presented with new challenges which allows me to learn the latest technologies and see them working in live environments. Flexibility - Being able to work from home if I need to is also a massive bonus and trusting staff with this is a really nice thing as well. Just an all round good company to work for.

Cons

None that I can see so far. Maybe we could jazz up the Chester office a little!

Advice to Management

Invest in the staff at the company and keep the culture as it grows, the atmosphere of a small company can be lost very easily and its a huge bonus to working at EssentialSkillz.

Pros

Open an collaborative culture. Genuine desire to win and keep business by creating value for the customers.

Cons

None really. Being an SME there is limited scope for a major role change, but the rate of growth means opportunities will arise.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. Introduce a holiday purchase scheme on salary sacrifice to allow top up of annual leave.

Pros

One of my colleagues added that this is like a big family, well that's exactly how I would put it, just great people to be around, a CEO who is not a name above a door but a friend to us all, makes this the perfect place to be oh and by the way, a fantastic product to add to this great company!

Cons

I would like to find one so that it doesn't look biased amongst us, but I really can't!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what your doing, it works!
