Pros

> I love the flexibility that Simply Business provides to it's employees. It's nice to have the freedom to work from home or the office depending on circumstances/preferences; and it shows a great deal of trust which is nice to have from an employer. > The company culture is also engaging, fun and super flexible, with company events being offered year round; with the choice to opt in or out at your own leisure. > The people who work here from management to those under management are all super respectful and positive, and there is a culture of understanding between everyone; no one feels left out and everyone feels close and trusted. > There are also a range of helpful benefits available for those who are employed >Lastly, the working environment itself feels chilled an stress free, which goes hand in hand with the positive company culture, there is also a lot of adaptations and support available for people with disabilities or other preferences

Cons

> The office can be a bit loud when the attendance is high, making it slightly more difficult to get your head down if needed.

Thank you for taking time out to write us a review. We love that you have been enjoying the flexibility in your role, and that you appreciate our efforts to make sure inclusion is in our DNA. We recommend speaking with your manager or people partner about the noise in the office, as there are potentially some ways we can help you when the office is busier than usual.

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.
