Stay away... - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso CurrentBody

The culture here is genuinely one of the best I’ve experienced, the people are a huge highlight and make coming to work enjoyable. There’s a real team atmosphere, and hard work doesn’t go unnoticed or unrewarded. The office itself is beautiful and set in a fantastic location at Alderley Park, which adds to the overall experience. Coming from new product development roles in larger corporate companies, I’d often felt frustrated by how slow things could move. This is the complete opposite, projects progress quickly, there’s a real sense of momentum, and the industry itself is incredibly exciting to be part of. It keeps things engaging and motivating.

Really clutching at straws but location if you don’t have access to a car.

The business is meant to be fast-paced but it only applies to product development and launch not with regard to employee decisions, career progressions, personal requests or development. The business and teams are extremely cliquey and do not have consideration for personal circumstances, health or family. The location is very inaccessible and public transport users are not given any concession, forced to use the terrible shuttle service provided by the business. It is advertised as subsidised but costs the same as a return train ticket to the nearest train station. Senior management pick favourites and it's obvious how some people are favoured over others. This impacts career progression, delivering KPIs and being proactive professionally isn't sufficient, you need to be socially active and extroverted or is considered a negative attitude. Minimal to no benefits. Company policies are not blanket rules for all employees, some people get advantages over others. This can lead to feeling unequal.
