Thank you for taking the time out to write us a review - we really appreciate it. It’s great to read that you enjoy the people-focused culture and the strong backing from our parent company. We’d encourage you to pick up a conversation directly with your manager about your personal growth and development at Simply Business. You can do this through your quarterly self-reflection conversations and you can also reach out to the people team to support you. Our promotions are based on strong continuous improvement, business need, and a more senior role being available that you can apply for. Through self reflection conversations and regular development catch ups, we hope to help you make the most out of your time here. Thank you again for the review and we hope any conversations you have will lead to some great personal development outcomes.

Thank you for taking the time to review your time working at Simply Business. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the social and flexible working, and that you felt our benefits are fair. As we grow and evolve as a business we understand there can be some growing pains, and while we have tried to roll out change with good communication, we know we don’t always get this right. We would be hugely grateful if you could email peopleops@simplybusiness.co.uk to tell us more about how these impacted you individually. Your feedback will really help us make sure we grow and evolve in a way that takes everyone on the journey with us. We really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and we will use your insights to help us further improve our change management.

Pros

I keep uncovering more amazing things about working here. Simply Business is a B corp, which truly is driven by leadership and you can sense the high ethical foundations across the business. The inclusion you feel from is amazing. Seeing the way the business supports managers to help teammates going through major life events is amazing!

Cons

There is a lot of information to take in initially - allowing a week or two to truly understand the business before giving urgent and complex tasks helps with being able to deliver and those early 'imposter syndrome' feelings.
