Thank you for your feedback and I agree we have some amazing people at Simply Business, with a lot of ambition. Over the last 6 months we've hired into some key talent gaps who are now making a great difference to what we do. We are determined to keep our authentic culture as we grown and only hire great people that enhance it.

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.
