Vantaggi

There are some good people

Svantaggi

Blame culture Little or no internal promotions or opportunities, always hire externally first Open roles are often taken by people without them being advertised internally, this happens in all the teams, there are obvious favourites No feedback, we were made to take part in a feedback initiative drawn out over weeks and then no one has used it No clear development plans or structure

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at Simply Business – and please know that we take all of your feedback seriously. We wanted to first acknowledge the subject of your post. Glassdoor is a channel where we encourage our SBers (new, current or alumni) and prospective SBers to share their experiences – it helps provide transparency on what we’re doing well and where we need to improve. There’s been a recent trend in Glassdoor activity, both positive and constructive, and we’d like to reassure you that we don’t apply any pressure for SBers to post reviews. Any recent positive reviews (and indeed constructive thoughts) have been posted independently and speak about those individuals’ experiences. It’s really important to us that we learn about a broad range of experiences at Simply Business, and we’d encourage you to use our ‘Five Ways To Be Heard’ framework – so that we can meaningfully address your concerns in the most effective way. Learning and development is a key priority at SB, and we want our people to be clear about the opportunities ahead of them inside the business. We’re proud of our track record of developing talent and helping people progress their careers, and we’d encourage you to reach out to your manager to have a conversation about your development. Equally, if you feel more comfortable, a member of our People team would be happy to talk to you about this – we want all SBers to feel in control of their progression. Thank you again for taking the time to post this – our door is always open if you’d like to discuss any of these themes in person, privately.

Vantaggi

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Svantaggi

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
