Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re pleased to see that you’re enjoying the flexibility we offer, along with our employee and customer focus. You should now have an email from our CEO, Alan Thomas, regarding a company wide incremental pay increase for 2024, which we also did in 2023. It could be that when you started back in 2022 missed out on the pay increase due to our internal deadline we have in place meaning you wouldn’t have been eligible for the uplift. Making sure our team is paid fairly is very important to us which is why we’re part of the Living Wage Foundation.

Pros

The culture is good because US contingency is still relatively small. Good people.

Cons

Sometimes scattered goals which require pivoting on a dime. Sometimes unclear who is running what project so there is a lot of re-work that seems unnecessary

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We’re glad that you’re having a good experience of working at Simply Business. As you may have heard, we are shifting to an updated quarterly planning process to ensure that we bring as much clarity as possible to our goals and targets so that SBers can do their best work. If you haven't already chatted with your manager about that new approach, we'd recommend connecting with them and providing any additional feedback to help us continually improve how this works.
