Svantaggi
Narcissistic CEO, lots of micromanagement and manipulation of employees. Average salary less than £25k but you're expected to bring your own laptop and commute everyday with no work from home. Very high turnover and no senior staff other than CEO meaning almost no ability to climb in the company.
Vantaggi
I was challenged to grow quickly in a company with a clear vision and a founder who is incredibly passionate, driven, and hands on. If you’re early in your career and eager to build a strong foundation in discipline, work ethic, and brand first thinking, this is a fantastic place to start
Svantaggi
The fast pace and high expectations may not be for everyone. Like any workplace, it’s important to be self motivated and open to feedback

During my year-long placement as Marketing Assistant at Innermost, I learned A LOT! The CEO has no doubt created an incredible set of products that I still use and recommend to this day (The Lean Protein is a non-negotiable in my daily routine). With a savvy business mind and a creative outlook, the CEO helped me gain a rounded understanding of what it takes to market a modern, fast-growing brand in the competitive FMCG landscape. Working closely with the CEO and founder gave me a far better view of the moving parts in a business world and the commitment that it takes to power a brand. Throughout my placement, I was given hands-on experience across a wide range of marketing areas, including - content creation, managing partnerships, organising events, planning social media strategy, and even helping with new product development. I truly gained a rich and comprehensive introduction to the world of marketing, walking away with valuable insights of: what it takes to make a brand stand out AND (more importantly) how to effectively implement this knowledge. Beyond technical skills and learning, I built an honest and fun working relationship with the CEO. I’m incredibly proud of my development throughout my placement and thankful for the collaborative environment he fostered. The mentorship gained made the experience not only valuable but genuinely enjoyable, and I’ll always look back on it as a pivotal and valuable progression in my career.
Svantaggi
It's a small company - so naturally you won't get some of the same benefits that large scale business can offer. Saying this, it's subjective - personally I find that the rounded view you get from a small business somewhat outweighs that of a large scale as you might get lost in the sea of employees. Lower end of pay - £21,500. I was a placement student so unsure how others were getting paid. Knowledge gained outweighed pay so again it depends what you personally value and want to gain.
