Pros

There's a reason I've stayed at Simply Business 8 years. They hire great people and it's honestly a joy to come to work when you get to work with such talented and hard working people - there is a culture here that is hard to beat. As a part time employee I've never been made to feel that my contribution is any different to full time employees and I've been given the freedom to work as I need to. It's not rocket science that if you get flexibility you'll give more in return. Also particularly love the way they have embraced AI - I've personally learnt so much in the past year or so. Thank you Simply Business and keep up the great work!

Cons

There are some expectant people who look to the good old days and always compare and want to see the negatives of what the company is like now (there are very few) or believe the grass is greener elsewhere. The company is at a different stage of growth now and those people need to make a choice to either jump on the train or get off at the next station.

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
