Awesome company to work for - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso helloU

I worked at helloU for around 6 months before leaving to start my own business. The environment was very much work-hard-play-hard which promoted a great atmosphere and working environment. Some highlights: - Entrepreneurial atmosphere: everybody has a say in the direction the business takes - Quick opportunities to advance: very meritocratic, if you want to learn about a different part of the business or even manage a team (and you're good enough) it'll happen. - Fast paced: constantly innovating the product and thinking of new ways to meet their market. I've since been through an accelerator for my own business and I'd say I learnt just as much in the 6 months I was at helloU. Perks are pretty good too, within 6 weeks of joining we had our christmas party.... in Barcelona.

Don't know if they still do it, but instead of destroying you for small mistakes like being late, they have various penalties such as buying pastries for everyone. Basically gamifying simple things which is kind of cool.

Lovely atmosphere, great team, lots of opportunity for growth within the business. A small team, so you have a feel like your opinion is valued. There are whole-team lunches for birthdays, work anniversaries, new starters, leavers, big achievements and other occasions so you feel very included/appreciated. Hard work is noticed and rewarded. Apprentices/school leavers are treated equally, and like normal colleagues. Not expected to make coffees and get dry cleaning, or condescended. Oh, and not to mention a company-paid christmas do abroad, that's definitely a pro.

Quite long working hours. Also, if you're looking for somewhere you can take on little responsibility and not not be challenged, helloU isn't the place for you.
