      Pros

      Great company culture which focuses on ensuring it's employees are healthy, happy and enjoying what they do. Interesting work, lots of new challenges and plenty of opportunities to innovate. Lots of companies say they put the individuals first and want their employees to be happy but Simply Business actually means it and follows through on those promises. In my 25 years working for various companies, I have never worked for a company that felt like it put me first. I would recommend Simply Business to anyone seeking an exciting opportunity to innovate with a company that respects your work life balance.

      Cons

      The only thing that I think Simply Business could do better is with their Pension contributions. They currently match employee contributions up to 5% which isn't great for someone at my age. My previous two roles matched up to 10%. That makes a huge difference to your pension.

      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.
