Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEOI worked at Transact full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Good bonus, people are generally good to work with, great culture
Cons
Very slow moving company. Want to change but have no clue how to change. Basically they have an old tech stack and it isn't a place to grow your knowledge. It's a retirement home for technology! Far away from any modern concepts of flexible working, work from home etc.
Advice to Management
Try to adapt to changing times.

Pros
Varied role with opportunity for progression Benefits and Bonus good Striving to offer the best service compared to competitors
Cons
Candidates already earmarked for internally advertised job roles Easy to be overlooked by senior management due to operations team size
Advice to Management
Have a more open approach when hiring internal, access all candidates applying and not just those who you’d looked at before offering the role

Pros
- Interview process was very straightforward and quick. Applied for the job on a Tuesday and had a formal job offer by Friday. Was made to feel very comfortable by recruitment team throughout. - Induction Process. Everyone at Transact is assigned a 'buddy' when they join, who helps them to get up to speed with the daily tasks. You progress at a good speed without ever feeling like a rabbit in the headlights.... Opportunity to meet CEO too.

- Not much to say here. Work can vary from day to day, some days are very manic whilst some days there's not a lot to do but that's the nature of the industry.
Advice to Management
Keep up what you're doing! The company culture/lack of any hierarchy was a pleasant surprise when I joined and definitely a big part of Transact's success in my opinion.
