RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at SMRS full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Culture, friendly, no-nonsense northern sensibility but some really smart people, never content to settle. Really happy to let people develop their careers in ways they want and try to accommodate ambitions and to back this up with training. They have worked hard to transform the agency into delivery of cutting edge work and doing interesting, profitable work for a wide range of clients.
Cons
Sometimes communication is not all it could be.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI worked at SMRS full-time
Pros
I worked there for a couple of years and over that time the company got better and better at working across teams to deliver better work for clients. Overall the employees are a very friendly, positive, knowledgeable and hard working bunch
Cons
Very little room for any kind of flexible working, which is a shame as with this it would have been my ideal place to work
Advice to Management
Show your employees you care with better benefits

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at SMRS full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
I have worked at SMRS for many years and always loved the fast paced, ever changing, dynamic environment. There are lots of really hard working, talented and fun people. Both of our offices are spacious, nice environments with great tech and facilities, in central locations. The benefits are very good in terms of 30 days' holiday, flexible working, pension and training opportunities. In some roles you get car allowances if you need to travel to see clients.
Cons
As our jobs are to deliver high quality services to our clients, this can mean that we sometimes have to go that extra mile for a client and stay late, work over a lunch or get in early. It's a high pressured environment so its not for everyone.
Advice to Management
Keep doing the fun things to reward people for their commitment.

Pros
3 months in and feel like I have been here for such a long time. Welcomed and respected by all. As an expert in your role you are trusted to get on with your job. You walk a way each day knowing you can make a difference.
Thoroughly enjoyed the summer event and cant wait for the Christmas Party . The ridiculous amounts of cake and pizza I have eaten in 3 months . I look forward to the daily fruit basket LOL.Cons
Great environment but always busy . If you thrive off being busy you will love working here . I do my day goes so quick.
Advice to Management
Just keep the SMRS family values going

Pros
Having just finished university last summer, SMRS is a wonderful company to work for - brilliant culture within the company, the quality of work produced, the range of clients and opportunities to do some really interesting work.
Cons
The pace of work and workload is consistently high. However, that's the fastest way to developing your skills and abilities.
Advice to Management
Improved internal communications

RecommendsPositive OutlookPros
There are many great reasons to work at SMRS. Apart from getting Pizza, cakes and fresh fruit, the people here are a varied and diverse bunch and you will enjoy working with them. Everybody will help each other if required and you feel you can talk to anyone. I have some great memories here and it was a difficult decision to leave...Honestly, I hope I can return some day and be part of the family once again.
Cons
Like any job, you will feel the pressure and stress. That's why it's called work. I don't think there is any one thing that I could say that would reflect negatively on the company as a whole. I felt trusted, respected and a great ambassador of the company.
Advice to Management
I have to much respect for the management at SMRS to give them advice but I know they have great plans going forward.
