Pros

CEO is bright and developed an interesting product

Cons

80% of staff are fake and two-faced. Incestuous, middle class culture, if you're not part of the public school fold, you won't stand a chance. Most staff are intelligent, but condescending and immature.

Beauhurst Response
2y
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear you’ve come away with such a negative experience of Beauhurst, that is never our intention. However, we would like to respond to the content of your post as we feel it is both fundamentally inaccurate and a disservice to the people who work here. While we encourage our employees to refer friends and former colleagues for open roles, all applicants go through the same recruitment process. This involves interviews with – and acceptance by – multiple members of staff across the company regardless of where applications have come from. All of our managers are given extensive management training, and have ongoing access to professional management coaches. The quality of our managers has been consistently rated as very high in each of our employee engagement surveys. Regarding diversity, findings from our most recent employee diversity survey include: - Just under one-third of our employees attended a paid/ private school at some point during their education. This is higher than the national average, but still very much a minority of our employees at all levels. - Our diversity of gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation is significantly greater than the average for UK tech companies. We hire for skill, experience, intellect and drive, irrespective of background or characteristic. We believe this has created a diverse group of supportive and genuine individuals who work hard towards a common goal, as highlighted extensively by our employees in other reviews. Having said this, we are always looking to improve inclusivity in the workplace, and we will of course take your feedback and experience into account for our future work. We are genuinely sorry that your time with Beauhurst did not work out and wish you all the best in your future career. If you would like to discuss this further please get in touch at operations@beauhurst.com.

Pros

Over the past seven months, I've been consistently impressed by three things. First, there is a genuine commitment to quality. Whether it's the underlying datasets, product development, or research output, people care deeply about getting things right and making information genuinely useful for customers. Second, there is a strong culture of intellectual curiosity. Teams are encouraged to ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, and focus on evidence rather than hierarchy. I've found colleagues across Product, Engineering, Data, Insights, New Business and Subscriber Growth to be collaborative, thoughtful and commercially minded. Third, the people are excellent. Beauhurst combines high standards and ambition with a refreshingly low-ego culture. Problems tend to be approached with curiosity and a desire to find solutions rather than assign blame. For someone joining from outside the business, that has been one of the most pleasant surprises.

Cons

As with any fast-growing company, priorities can evolve quickly and there is often more opportunity than resource. That creates a healthy level of challenge, but it can also mean balancing competing priorities and making pragmatic decisions about where to focus attention. Because people care about outcomes and move quickly, there can sometimes be a lot happening at once. New joiners who prefer highly structured environments may need a little time to adapt.
