Pros

Flexibility and autonomy in a lot of roles Very solid benefits and rewards including PMI Beautiful offices with plenty of (free) drinks and snacks, and spaces for wellbeing or prayer Great tech to allow you to do your job in an efficient way Real investment in some aspects of employee experience such as a company trip, annual awards, regular community events and workshops It feels as though everyone really is working toward one goal; championing SMEs.

Cons

Increasing division between areas of the business is driving a wedge in the culture A lot of additional responsibilities/picking up slack of others with no compensation Difficult to progress or meaningfully develop for the majority Wellbeing and genuine want to champion it has wilted over the last few years Creeping sense of uncertainty/lack of job security Pay didn’t feel comparable to market value

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your positive feedback on the culture and employee experiences at Simply Business. We were saddened to learn of your feedback regarding development and reward. Ensuring Simply Business remains an environment where all individuals feel challenged, supported, and ultimately able to advance their careers, has consistently been a key priority, and we are proud of what we have accomplished so far. We regularly benchmark our compensation and comprehensive reward packages to ensure their competitiveness as well as operate a performance and reward model designed to recognize our highest performers. If you would like to discuss any of these areas further, we would welcome a conversation.
