When looking for a job, I didn't believe any of these reviews either

When looking at a position at Gearset, I was initially sceptical as so much of the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. One of the best things I did read was Gearset's response to the only bad review on here and I was really impressed. Having been at the company for around 6 months now I can confidently say it is one of the best companies I've ever worked at, for the following reasons - The trust is so enabling, when it comes to my work and progress, everyone trusts me to do an excellent job - The work life balance is phenomenal, I pick my own schedule and work hybrid, obviously there is a level of responsibility with this, but again it all links back to trust. Also I don't get messages or emails in the evenings, it still surprises me to this day. I could write a whole review on just how good the work life balance is. - I have total confidence in the management, something I haven't been able to say at every company I've worked at. However the whole first line team here are top drawer, everyone is approachable and everyone works together. - The people are great, having worked with every department both in England and other countries I can confirm they're a great bunch to work with. You can see the benefits of Gearset's hiring team and processes. There isn't a single person at this company I want to avoid or not work with (not something I can't say for other places I've worked) Don't get me wrong at the end of the day it's still a job and you have to be willing to work hard and contribute, however if you've ever felt the struggle of; no trust, no balance, bad management and difficult members of staff, then you need to get on Gearset's careers page because it may just be one of the best moves you make.
Cons
In previous jobs I've had more annual leave. However I would gladly give up a few days for the excellent work life balance and flexible working at Gearset any day.

Pros
Gearset really look after you & encourage personal growth in a way I've never encountered with other companies. The team is warm, welcoming, enthusiastic & ambitious. I'm so happy to be a part of the team here.
Cons
I really struggle to think of any cons for me personally. I suppose if you're looking for somewhere to clock watch I'd say it might not be the one for you.

- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great bunch of people who treat their staff really well. Supportive flat structure where everyone is friendly, hardworking and lots of fun! Good benefits - health insurance, free onsite lunch, yoga classes, flexible working to name a few.
Cons
Nothing bad about working here!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Gearset made feel that pandemic doesn't mean being isolated from your team and by myself at home. There's not one day, I don't have a good laugh with my team, and since day 1 I felt so much support from members of the whole company (not just from my team). They trust me to do my best job, and I keep wanting to give my best and beyond to Gearset. I'm treated with respect and I'm given ownership to support the business. It's like a big great team! Oh and the occasional little gifts they are just cherry on top of the cake 😊 Good environment, no micromanagement, opportunities to make an impact, work life balance, free food, random gifts, team gatherings, bupa, nice salary.
Cons
The only downside is that you might never find a better place to work for after Gearset :D
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- kind. fun, and caring colleagues - environment of trust and respect - great work/life balance - feel supported - wellbeing is a priority
Cons
I've been here for about 6 months and I haven't found any cons yet! It's an even better place to work than the reviews made it out to be!
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Gearset is a brilliant place to work, they've managed to maintain the excitement of a start-up, with the structure, security and support of a more established business, even as the company grows. All opinions are valued and you can really see, and benefit from, the impact of your work. The benefits are really good, and have been translated well into remote working.
Cons
The fast-paced nature of the work isn't for everyone, but you get fully supported so it shouldn't put you off!
