Vantaggi

Any real perks here pretty much vanished by the end of 2024. Honestly, making it through your time at this company with your sanity intact is practically a benefit in itself.

Svantaggi

From the moment Monday begins to the moment Friday finally gives mercy, every minute feels like a drawback. The company attracts talented, experienced people with shiny values it abandons the second they’re through the door, using those same values to pressure, silence, and wear staff down. Raising concerns about burnout or workload is often twisted into grounds for dismissal or redundancy. Even small member offerings — like two jars of tea — are treated as if removing them will magically free up 38 extra working hours a week. If anyone asks what support is needed, offering an honest answer only becomes ammunition that’s later used to push, batter, and eventually force people out.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We recognise that periods of change can shape how benefits, workload, and leadership decisions are perceived. Over the past year, we’ve continued to review how we support our people in practical, meaningful ways. This has included introducing a flexible benefits platform that gives team members personal budgets to spend on healthcare, wellbeing, fitness, learning, everyday essentials, and equipment that supports how they work. Our intention has been to move towards support that is individual, accessible, and personal. We take concerns about workload and sustainability seriously, and we aim to provide structured, appropriate channels for these conversations so they can be addressed thoughtfully and fairly. While experiences will vary, our focus remains on running a responsible business that balances care for our people with long-term viability. We appreciate the feedback shared and continue to reflect on how we communicate and support teams as the organisation evolves.

Vantaggi

At times it feels like many of the overly positive reviews don’t reflect the reality for most employees and may come from leadership perspectives rather than day to day experience. Greater transparency and a willingness to acknowledge challenges openly would build far more trust than consistently presenting an overly polished picture.

Svantaggi

Work life ironically balance is an area where Work.Life still has meaningful room to improve. The company often speaks about community, connection, and supporting people, and leadership responses here consistently reinforce that these are priorities. However, the lived experience internally does not always align with that message. There is a noticeable emphasis on being AI focused and sharing thought leadership externally, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, but at times this seems to come at the expense of listening closely to employees and addressing day to day challenges. For a business built on real life connection and community, that disconnect can feel frustrating. In the past year especially, there has been a steady flow of talented colleagues leaving, many due to burnout or mental health pressures. That pattern suggests this is not just an individual issue but something structural around workload, expectations, and support. Leadership responses often acknowledge feedback and express good intentions, which is positive, but more tangible action and follow through would make a real difference. Creating sustainable workloads, actively listening to teams, and prioritising wellbeing would better reflect the company’s stated values.

Hey there, thank you for leaving your thoughts on here. You are right, voices matter and the whole team is actively going through a period of transition from a startup into a scaleup - its a painful experience and it involves a lot of change. Not everyone signed up for this when they first started and not everyone enjoys the scaleup experience either - which is totally OK. some people opt into it and some opt out - that is a very common fixture of the scaleup journey, which we are aware of and generally support - because its important people "opt into" roles they wish to work in and companies they wish to be a part of. If this is not the right place, then its about having a supportive conversation and a plan to help people find something better. We don't hold you by the leg. Please know that your People team and your Leadership team hear you and are listening to your voice. Raise suggestions for how to improve and like all such suggestions raised - things will be done and will improve. We have seen lots of actioning of feedback recently and the results speak for themselves. We are ONE team here. We also want what you want. Let's support each other with open conversation to get there. So when you feel ready, come out of the "annonymous" and into a very receptive Group Membership Manager and your People team, who mentor you on monthly basis to raise your concerns and support you to the point where you feel you can discuss this with us and get help. Its hard to help you through glassdoor.

Vantaggi

I’ve been at Work.Life for a while now, and it’s one of those places where the experience has noticeably changed over time. There have definitely been challenging periods, and I think that’s reflected in some of the older reviews. But what’s been different more recently is that feedback isn’t just collected, it’s actually acted on. You can see where things have shifted, whether that’s clarity around roles, better structure in how teams operate, or more consistency in how decisions are communicated. It still moves quickly, and that won’t be for everyone. But there’s a lot more focus now on doing things properly rather than just reacting. Managers are more aligned, expectations are clearer, and there’s a stronger sense of direction across the business. What I’ve personally valued is that when something isn’t working, there’s more openness to talk about it and improve it, rather than brush it aside. That hasn’t always been the case, so it’s worth calling out. It’s not perfect, and I don’t think anyone here would claim it is. But it does feel like a company that is learning and actively trying to get better, which makes a big difference day to day.

Svantaggi

Pace can still be intense at times Some changes are still bedding in, so not everything feels consistent yet
