Pros
UpSlide truly lives its values, fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and collaborative environment where people genuinely enjoy coming into the office. Happiness at work is at the heart of the culture, and they’ve nailed it.
There are countless opportunities to connect and integrate, from small traditions like goûter - a Thursday ritual where we step away from our screens at 4pm to catch up over an afternoon treat - to larger events such as end-of-quarter socials (my favourite so far was a pasta-making class). Then there are the flagship gatherings: Teaminar, where the UK team spends a night away together, and Seminar, a week-long event in France bringing all offices together. These moments create meaningful connections beyond day-to-day work. And that’s just the start - CSR days, client parties, active socials, Summer Club…the list goes on.
Happiness at work also shines through in the benefits package: a work-from-home and wellness budget, hybrid and flexitime arrangements, work from anywhere in August, a cycle-to-work scheme, and fantastic office amenities in the heart of Shoreditch. The office itself offers generous communal spaces, perfect for shared lunches and collaboration.
Trust is another core value embedded in UpSlide’s culture. There’s no micromanagement - people feel empowered and trusted to deliver, and flexible working arrangements reinforce that trust.
Finally, Excellence is evident everywhere. Watching colleagues strive for excellence inspires you to do the same, creating an environment rich in learning and growth. Everyone is approachable and willing to share knowledge, making it easy to learn and thrive.
Cons
