iTech Media Reviews

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it. I'm delighted that you recognised how friendly our team are, and how you feel you can be yourself here. This feeling of belonging is really important to us, so I'm pleased to hear you felt this way. Thank you as well for your feedback about where you feel we can do better. Our industry is fast moving, and this does often mean that our strategy and plans need to change and adapt in order to make the most of the opportunities this presents. Creativity and difference of thought is also critical to our success and we do encourage this, so it's disappointing to hear you didn't feel this was the case. We're a positive bunch as we have a lot to be positive about, but I'm sorry that you feel this comes across as toxic positivity - I'd love to understand how you feel we can get better. I can see you're a current employee of ours, I'd really like the opportunity to have a chat with you about your feedback so please get in touch and we'll set something up. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and for all you do for iTech. Emma Baillie Chief People Officer

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate your feedback. We're pleased that you recognised the focus we put on our culture, and the impact our team can have outside of the business through volunteering and fundraising. We're very proud of how we onboard people to the company, and how we champion a focus on wellbeing so we're also pleased that you appreciated that. We want to make sure everyone joining us understands iTech and our business, and our Talent team ensure candidates are aware of the space we operate in when discussing roles with them. We're also working on telling more of our people stories externally, to help bring to life what we do here. There were some hard choices that had to be made by the business in 2022, and these decisions were not taken lightly. As with many other companies, we weren't immune to a challenging external environment. Our collective leadership team have done their best to ensure that the restructuring process has been completed as respectfully as possible for all involved, and are working on rebuilding trust within the business after such a tough process for everyone involved. Once again, thank you for sharing your feedback. If you’d like to discuss any of your comments further, please email me directly on emma.baillie@itech.media. I wish you well with wherever your career has taken you next.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us this review. Feedback is really important to us, whether it's positive or more critical, so thank you. That being said, it is a surprise to hear this feedback. As a business, we know that difference in thinking and embracing the diversity of our team, their opinions and the experiences they bring are critical to our success so it's something we encourage and champion. Our Neurodiversity Guild offers insights, guidance and ideas on how best we can embrace and encourage differences of thought. Whilst processes and procedures are important, especially in the industries we operate in, there's a balance to be struck with creativity and it sounds like we've missed the mark for you on this point. I'd like the opportunity to discuss this feedback further with you, if you'd be happy to do so please email me (emma.baillie@itech.media) and we can talk this through . Thank you again for this feedback, and I wish you all the best with your new role. Emma Baillie, Chief People Officer

Thank you for your review - it's great to hear you're enjoying your time with us here at iTech Media. We've worked hard on ensuring our team understand our business goals and strategy. Increasing our transparency is an important part of this process and it's something we've worked hard on. If you have more feedback on our strategy, and the change around this, I recommend you discuss with your manager or People Partner. Thanks again!

Hi, and thank you for leaving us a review. We take all feedback very seriously, good and bad, and appreciate you sharing this with us. Inclusion is important to us here, our aim is to offer an unrivalled opportunity for all Arcs to grow and belong, and we know that diversity in all senses of the word – including diversity of thought and approach – makes us stronger. We value inputs and perspective from all our talented Arcs across the business. Engineering has always been instrumental to our company’s success. Engineering leadership is represented in all of our business pillars, and as the largest chapter within the business, plays a key role in driving innovation and diversity of thought. As the company evolves, we’ve faced some growing pains in terms of technical strategy. We also appreciate that not having a CTO for some time has been challenging. With our new global Head of Engineering now onboard, and joining our Senior Leadership team, we are confident that 2023 will bring clarity, inspiration and innovation to our engineering teams. iTech is a digital marketing services company, publishing engaging content that informs and entertains a global audience across the most competitive comparison markets in the world, including iGaming, Sports Betting and Personal Finance. We want to make sure everyone joining us understands iTech and our business, and we’re working on telling more of our Arcs stories externally, to bring to life what we do here. Once again, I’d like to thank you for your feedback, and if you would like to discuss further please contact me directly on emma.baillie@itech.media. Emma Baillie, CPO

Hi, thank you for taking some time to review us. We take all feedback seriously, both good and bad. We’re sad to hear that you’ve had an unsatisfactory experience working here at iTech. That means that, in your case, we’ve failed somewhere along the way. I can see that you are currently a team member and so I’d strongly encourage you to come and see me or any of our senior leadership team to talk through your concerns in person to see if there’s anything we can do to help improve your experience here. We’ve done a lot to build an environment where everyone is comfortable to bring their best selves to work and share their views with our leadership teams. We have regular Peakon pulse surveys so we can understand sentiment in the business, and in addition to reviewing and responding to our Peakon survey data in real-time, our leadership teams hold listening forums where Arcs can and do share their views. Leadership Q&A sessions and regular skip level meetings, and 1:1s with our senior team are also a feature of day-to-day life here at iTech. Our most recent Peakon score of 8.6 out of 10 for ‘Freedom of opinion’ tells us that the majority of Arcs are comfortable and confident in expressing their opinions and sharing their views. A balance between work and life is important to us – none of us can perform at our best without this. Long hours are not encouraged, and we ask all Arcs to get at least 75% of their holidays booked in the diary by September. This year, we closed for 2 full weeks over Christmas in addition to our annual holiday allowance to say thank you to everyone and allow us all to recharge over the holidays. Again, I would encourage you to come and talk to me so we can discuss these and any other concerns you have. Emma Baillie, Chief People Officer
