Exciting company, brilliant team - Recensione dipendente - Business Development Consultant presso Refract

Refract is a young but exciting company to be at in the North East. There can't be many other start up software companies in Newcastle at this present moment with such an exciting future ahead combined with being a great place to work. The company promotes a flexible, easy going, but hard working culture, with a real sense of team-ethic. One of the best things about Refract is the leadership's philosophy of being open and transparent with the whole business, where everyone genuinely has a say in strategic business decisions and the company's future success.

Refract is still relatively early stage, and as such - there are no hiding places for those who just see the company as another place to work. This is not necessarily a 'con' as such, but an indicator as to the working environment you will be going into, as well as what is expected of you.

Flexibility to fit work around your home life when needed with work from home etc. Nice office environment when you're in the office, everyone gets on. When I was going through the interview process they were talking to me about "refract people" and it's true - there's definitely a type of person they recruit into the business. Plenty of egos but they're not really egotistical. Great technology and although not for everyone, it really makes a difference to those that embrace it and it's quite an up and coming field. Great tools used internally like slack etc. Everyone has a company credit card for those little expenses that crop up.

No office parking that's free for those that want to drive, but that's what it's like working in the city centre! The office is on the outskirts of the city centre so still a bit of a walk if you want to go shopping at lunch time.
