      - Plenty of opportunities for training - Supportive boss - Good team dynamics - lack of blame culture is refreshing

        Pros

        I've found my time so far at Nominet incredibly positive - working with a great group of people towards aims and goals I really agree with. My experience of working with senior management has been positive - and it was clearly spelt out to me on joining that one day I would be expected to be in the office more. I don't mind about that - I'm paid well, and the job has a really strong benefits package.

        Cons

        I can't really think of any.

            Pros

            In my opinion Nominet is a very enjoyable place to work. The SecOps team is great, team leader is very friendly and knowledge and cares about his team members. Remote working is nice as they have left it up to the teams to decide how this is going to be done and my team leader has been great with it. I am aware that there has been leadership restructuring recently and I can't speak to that as I wasn't here for that but now things seem to have settled down and the work is good and the company ethos is very positive. Their office building in Oxford is soo beautiful and has been great to work there the off-times I have.

            Cons

            The companies working policy is hybrid but contracts still have a place of work. I live quite far away and this makes feel nervous that it could change at anytime.

              A fair deal, Nominet understand paying the right package gets you the right people. Nominets employee package is an example of that. Great teams, willing, joined up and communitive, empowering and helpful

              Cons

              Seem to rush into big projects head first, when they should evaluate and assess first. But overall not afraid to do something because we should and not just because we are told.

                      Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

                      I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

                      Manager

                      Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
