Pros

Unrivaled Flexibility: The current hybrid model is very reasonable, typically requiring only 8 days in the office per month. It feels like a genuine balance rather than a forced mandate. Trust-Based Culture: Work-life balance isn't just a buzzword here. Managers truly trust you to own your deliverables. If you need to head out early for your kid's recital or a doctor’s appointment, the autonomy is there as long as the work gets done. Flagship Events & Heritage: The company does a fantastic job of maintaining its "startup soul" even as we scale. The Annual Trek is a major highlight. Last year’s 4-day trip to Portugal was incredible, it's exciting to see what this year's Trek is. It’s also impressive to see how these traditions have successfully evolved with the organization. Perks that Matter: Small touches like free lunch on Wednesdays go a long way in making office days more enjoyable. Strong Vision: Leadership is visibly committed to employee engagement and has a clear, dedicated roadmap for scaling our presence in the US market.

Cons

Global vs. Local Clarity: With the organization split between the US, UK, and Shared Services, the lines can occasionally get blurred. We could benefit from more clarity regarding which initiatives are US-specific versus global to help streamline communication.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's fantastic to hear that our startup soul is still shining through as we continue to scale our presence in the US. Hearing that our hybrid model and trust-based culture provide you with the genuine autonomy you need is exactly why we prioritize flexibility. We’re also thrilled you enjoyed the trek to Portugal; we agree that maintaining those flagship traditions is a huge part of what makes us Simply Business. Our leadership team is hard at work on that US-specific roadmap, and we’ll keep leaning into that transparency to make sure our global structure helps our speed. We’re glad to have you on the journey as we continue on this journey together!
