The perfect company to work for - Junior Software Developer Purus Employee Review

I joined Purus in January 2018, and what a breath of fresh air it was! I had come from a large organisation who were an end user of Salesforce, where the work was repetitive and often mundane. That was soon flipped on it's head and the environment I'm now in is fast paced and full of variety. Projects can range from a couple of hours training, all the way up to 50-day complex implementations. Personal development is a key area embedded within the ethos at Purus. I've completed 5 certifications since joining, in which I was supported financially and also given the time to study within office hours. The company are not afraid to invest in the best equipment/software for it's employees to carry out their jobs as effectively as possible and you will always be supported in whatever you are doing. My Work/Life balance is fantastic and hours can be flexible when needed. The office is based right in the centre of Birmingham, so really easy to get to. Generally just a great company to work for!

I can't really think of any!

I was relatively new to the IT world, and brand new to Salesforce; what I will say about Purus is that if you invest time and effort and show your willingness to learn and work hard, boy will you get that back fourfold if not more. You can really see how much the directors have invested personally and it is portrayed through the passion they have for what they do, this outlook made me love my job even more. The ongoing support is constant whether it is giving time to learn more about a certain subject or as simple as not being afraid to ask a question. Everyone is made to feel welcome and included even on a smaller scale team. Being able to all help each other and solve issues as a team I believe is extremely rare; nobody's opinion or idea is ignored. Also, in all honesty, it's fun! As long as the work is being done we can have a chat and a laugh every now and then which is really refreshing.

Due to the team being quite small, when it's quiet it is really quiet; that's just me being picky.
