      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.

      Simply the best company I have worked for

      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.

We'll pass on your suggestion about pension contributions to our benefits team. You're also welcome to reach out to your people partner to pick up the suggestion.
