Culture overview
We really care about people. We want you to grow with us in an open and supportive environment. We want to hear your ideas and for you to be yourself in an atmosphere that embraces people’s individual personalities. We pride ourselves on our culture, and try to offer something more meaningful than token beanbags and a PS5 you don’t have time to play. We've got important things covered, like having properly trained mental health first aiders, as well as silly things like our #geese Slack channel. There's plenty to get involved in, from movie nights to a Dungeons & Dragons club. We’re techy to the core, with technical leaders through to board level. We pride ourselves on our flat structure where directors sit in with the teams and are there when you need them. We encourage open and honest feedback, even if you’re critiquing your boss. - We won't sell you a job based on gimmicks. We know you don’t want to hear how 'unique' this opportunity is. - We’re not an agency. You can do your best work here, in a team who recognise that quality matters. - We don't ask you to work longer hours than you're paid for. We encourage a healthy work-life balance. - We won't make you get involved in things you're not into. If this month's board game social doesn't strike the right chord, no worries.
