Pros

Suited for someone early in their career or straight out of university to find their feet and get a feel for industry

Cons

Compensation is below average, salary is not competitive at all and no transparency on what salary progress might be Team culture and motivation has disappeared since pandemic and turned into gossip culture Any attempts to return to the office have been presented like something you will be monitored on No leadership or direction, which for some means they just coast Feels like a lot of the branches just do their own thing Plenty of senior talented people leaving but no one addressing it as an issue

Many thanks for taking the time to review your experience. You highlight the challenge of maintaining a culture, (which is normally cited as our core strength) when remote working has been so disruptive due to the pandemic. We aim to find the balance between hybrid working and maintaining our culture and this is something, it is fair to say, a lot of companies will take time to reconcile in the short term. Rest assured that there is a dedicated team focused on ensuring that we return to the culture, many have enjoyed, in line with pre-pandemic levels through numerous initiatives. Compensation is another area where there is external bench marking carried out each year to ensure our total reward package is comfortably in the top half of like-for-like, comparative roles. We supplement this reward scheme with the ability for colleagues to maintain a positive work-life balance, freedom to make mistakes and the time to learn at their own pace. The 10% of base salary education budget, top tier pension plan and private healthcare for all, are some of the additional features that make our remuneration offering truly competitive. We will continue to offer good salaries and commission schemes that are sustainable and safeguard the future of TOPdesk for all our team members. The recent uplift in all base salaries, to compensate for the increasing cost of living, is typical of our intentions in this regard. There is no denying that the last year has seen great changes in the job market and we are grateful to those many loyal colleagues that contribute to our continued success. We wish you the best of luck in your new challenge.
