A genuinely rewarding place to work with a strong sense of purpose. What stands out most about ICE Creates is the people. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and built around shared values, with everyone working towards making a positive impact for communities, organisations, and individuals. There is a real emphasis on creativity, innovation, and continuous learning, which makes the work both meaningful and engaging. The organisation genuinely cares about wellbeing, personal growth, and creating an environment where people feel valued and heard. It’s refreshing to work somewhere that combines ambitious goals with a people-first approach. Pros: Supportive and friendly team Meaningful, purpose-driven work Opportunities for growth and development Collaborative and creative culture Leadership that encourages innovation

As with any fast-paced organisation, priorities can occasionally shift quickly, but this also creates opportunities to learn and adapt.

The main positive is the dedicated and committed people. Projects are often interesting and the work has value and impact.

There is a consistently high staff turnover, which creates instability across teams. Progression is unclear and is promised rather than delivered. Career development opportunities are limited and pay is below market rate. There is little meaningful investment in training or development, making progression within the role difficult. Work-life balance is poor. You are commonly expected to work beyond contracted hours without compensation or acknowledgement. The “fast-paced environment” is normalised and treated as a measure of individual capability. Emphasis is placed on coping rather than questioning whether the pace is appropriate, which reinforces reactive and disorganised working as standard practice. Senior leadership operate in a highly reactive way. Frequent last minute changes create unclear direction and unrealistic delivery expectations. This contributes directly to workload instability and pressure on teams.
