Pros
BrewDog is making it their mission to become the best employer ever. No business is perfect and as we are still pretty young and growing at an insane speed, it's easy to run into unexpected problems. However, the people team are ace and constantly listening to feedback from teams. They have implemented many new benefits in the last 12 months, including free private healthcare, an unbelievable enhanced pension contribution, and equal end of year bonus for ALL employees. They have also recently launched a world-class staff and management training scheme that goes hand in hand with a learning and development fund for each employee. There are also great progression opportunities across the board; packaging teams are put through their apprenticeships, and there is a great bar management development programme too. Lots of people have moved up through the ranks from junior positions and have been given chances unheard of in other companies.
Cons
The culture in BrewDog is work hard, play hard. There's no denying it's a lean machine and can get pretty intense sometimes, but one of the best parts of working here is having an incredible and supportive team. I wouldn't say it's a con, but I can definitely say not everyone can hack the pace here. Right now, there are plans to improve work-life balance further, but we already have a great on-site gym, outside classes and team activities! The location isn't a bustling city, but it is ideal for outdoor, adventure types and is a short drive from Aberdeen. Employees that relocate are well looked after!
