Pros

Lots of opportunity and a real opportunity to develop yourself within the companies development

Cons

Management will “ask” the staff on thoughts and opinions but you may as well be whistling into the air for what it’s worth. Little in terms of real investment into staff or anything that would benefit the business through its staff.

We regret to hear that you’ve reflected negatively on some aspects of your time with us. Thank you for providing us with your feedback and your acknowledgement that we offer our employees real opportunities to develop and grow at Optimising IT. We pride ourselves on listening to our staff, and we think that our latest employee survey high Net Promotor Score of 8.76 is a positive indicator of this. Our SMT are passionate about the positive and friendly culture we instill at Optimising IT and proactively take steps to address any feedback from staff to continually improve the working environment. We encourage self-development, offering on-the-job mentoring and training opportunities to attain certifications and to continuously improve skills. Our quarterly business updates presented by our MD Gary Smith, provide staff with the opportunity to ask questions about future business direction and to pass on any feedback. We also ensure that all our employees have a regular 1:1 meeting set up with their line managers and an open-door policy to speak to any of the SMT. All our staff policies are in place to ensure that every employee is treated fairly and equally.

Pros

Optimising IT's positive and friendly culture makes working here a real joy. The SMT are always open to listening to new ideas and are transparent across all aspects of the business, which has allowed me to continue to drive our strategic marketing plan forward. My creativity is always encouraged and well received, and I'm able to explore new opportunities and feedback to the SMT. Personal development is also high on the SMT's agenda and continued learning is a big part of the culture here at Optimising IT. I'd also add that the SMT are agile and dynamic, spotting new business opportunities but remain measured with their business decisions. Flexibility is important for me and this was recognised from day one and for that I'm very grateful to be able to work from home on a regular basis to suit my personal needs and to compliment the nature of my role. A healthy lifestyle is actively encouraged, with 'walk n' talk' meetings promoted across the company, lunchtime walks (there are plenty of stunning countryside walks on our doorstep), fresh fruit provided and benefits that include half price gym memberships etc.

Cons

None that come to mind.

Pros

Everyone is so lovely. I immediately gelled with everyone when I started and you get so much help and support from other teams to help you do your job the best you can.

Cons

It's a fast paced and rapidly changing environment so things can get a little stressful. But this is also a pro because there's so much opportunity
