Pros

Working at Hyve has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career. The culture is genuinely people first, with a strong sense of purpose driving everything we do, from the events we create to the relationships we build. As a senior leader, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate across global teams, shape strategy, and contribute to a business that’s constantly evolving. What stands out most is the energy: Hyve is fast-paced, ambitious, and full of smart, kind people who care deeply about what they do. There’s a real commitment to innovation and inclusion, and leadership is both accessible and empowering. Whether you're early in your career or stepping into a senior role, Hyve offers space to grow, lead, and make an impact. I love working at Hyve, my team are amazing and we lead by example. I am privileged to be working on a world class Shoptalk series along with world class people who are born innovators and disruptors.

Cons

Nothing - It’s a high-performance environment, so pace and change are part of our DNA. But if you thrive on momentum and purpose, it’s incredibly energising and rewarding!

Talented colleagues but toxic culture

Pros

- Some genuinely talented colleagues who care about their work - Travel and events can be exciting if you enjoy that environment -A few pockets of strong leadership, though inconsistent

Cons

-Chronic leadership dysfunction: Decision-making is reactive, political, and often driven by personal agendas rather than strategy or data. -Culture where people stay quiet to protect themselves. Team members often avoid voicing issues because doing so tends to create more problems than it solves. -HR is performative, not protective: HR presents as supportive but ultimately prioritizes optics and liability over employee wellbeing. -Boundary issues and blurred professionalism: Some leaders behave in ways that would raise red flags in any modern workplace, yet accountability is inconsistent or nonexistent. -High turnover disguised as “restructuring”: Instead of addressing root causes, leadership reshuffles teams or titles, creating instability and burnout. -Workload vs. compensation mismatch: Expectations are high, resources are low, and recognition is rare. -Culture varies wildly by team: Your experience depends entirely on who your manager is — which is a gamble. -Outdated return‑to‑office philosophy — Despite the fact that most roles are fully remote‑capable, leadership continues to enforce a three‑day office rule that seems rooted in optics rather than operational need.

Pros

Hyve in London is a great place to work. I have a supportive and understanding manager, I’ve had the opportunity to develop through my role and on courses. The business moves at pace, so if you enjoy change and a good challenge, you’ll enjoy Hyve. Office is close to Paddington tube, 3 days per week in office which works well for me. Benefits are good - gym, bonus, 10% matching pension, flexible bank holidays, Bupa and they sometimes do summer Fridays and Christmas shut down. The Christmas and summer parties are awesome!

Cons

The business evolves and therefore changes at pace, this is not a con for me but can be for some, you’ll need to be willing to adap
