helloU Reviews

Working at helloU is an incredibly challenging, yet rewarding experience. I joined an ambitious and hard working team, a very small team at that, and so naturally it was steered very closely by the CEO. The demands are huge, there is nowhere to hide if you're hoping to ride on the coattails of your colleagues - and so you've got no choice but to put in your level best every single day. This is a satisfying experience I assure you. With such a hard working culture it is of course critical that the team can work together, and the CEO managed this exceptionally. I'm yet to work at a company where everyone enjoys each other's company to the degree that they play football at lunch, go to the pub after work and go on a 2 day jaunt to Europe at Christmas. Everyone talks about "work hard play hard" - which is so overused now it offends me to type it - but at helloU it is a reality. Perhaps the most valuable thing I got from my time at helloU was the advice and guidance from the CEO. Since leaving helloU I have dramatically changed my career, and that is not only due to the CEO putting me in contact with the right people over a year after I left, but also having given me some of the best career advice I've ever had. If you have the opportunity to work with him then it will be to your benefit.

Lovely atmosphere, great team, lots of opportunity for growth within the business. A small team, so you have a feel like your opinion is valued. There are whole-team lunches for birthdays, work anniversaries, new starters, leavers, big achievements and other occasions so you feel very included/appreciated. Hard work is noticed and rewarded. Apprentices/school leavers are treated equally, and like normal colleagues. Not expected to make coffees and get dry cleaning, or condescended. Oh, and not to mention a company-paid christmas do abroad, that's definitely a pro.
