      Business outlook

      Pros

      * Transparent & approachable senior management team * Positive culture, centred around doing what's right for the customer * Great & helpful colleagues - no big egos * Acquired by Essilor, bringing more stability and opportunity for the future * Free fruit, Nespresso * Weekly (ish) company wide stand-ups with free beer/ wine/ g&ts, snacks * Open office layout, with all of the C-levels sitting with their team (no offices) * Cool office in Shoreditch w/ a pool table

      Cons

      * Stand-ups don't happen regularly * Office lacks proper management & care, e.g., stained carpet, messy kitchen area etc. Doesn't give a great impression to visitors, employees or interviewees. * Salaries are improving, but tend to be at the lower to mid-end * high technical debt that's only being slowly addressed * maternity pay is very poor - government minimum. A big negative for women who want to start a family

      Thank you for your review. We are always looking at ways to improve our Employees' experience and encourage employee feedback. We have since reviewed our maternity policy and now offer an enhanced maternity pay package. We have also changed the London office cleaners and deep cleaned our carpets. We do carry out annual salary bench marking exercises to check how our salaries compare to the marketplace and annual salary reviews happen every February. We are working on the rest!

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Shift patterns are fairly regular and easy to tailor around your needs. Team members across the business are lovely (Excluding most managers). Fairly generous holiday entitlement which includes bank holidays (although not all teams can take bank holidays off).

      Cons

      The upper management care about 2 things: 1 Protecting the interests of EssilorLuxottica and 2 making as much money for them as possible at the expense of anything. The HR director could be compared to a very famous man from Austria, 1939-1945 should ring a bell. In her words, "Employees should be grateful to work for the company". There is no progression available these days, it's easier to outsource to another country than get someone valuable in the UK. There are no premises unless you live in London. 100% home working is the new normal and if you don't like it, well it's either tough or you can find another job elsewhere. There is literally no plan (or not that anybody knows of) for what is happening over the next year even, which leaves the job security aspect extremely lacking.
