Pros

I feel part of a great team here, I’m surrounded by people who genuinely are here to make a difference. In addition to the usual benefit offerings there are great benefits that are easy to take for granted - food and soft drinks always available in the hubs, company trips abroad, annual awards event, and an annual Wellfest with focuses on social, financial, physical and mental health. SB does a lot of things well.

Cons

It helps to have an internal network to get things done as processes for cross department collaboration can be hard to understand (or non existent)

Innovative culture with great career development opportunities

Pros

- The work is interesting and there is a culture of innovation and experimentation across the business. As it's an insurtech company there is, of course, a focus on AI but it's not solely about this. - I had great career development at SB and left having had two secondments, with one turning into a permanent role. I was also supported to develop my career in terms of a professional qualification. - Due to my secondments I had a few different managers in my time at SB and felt supported by them. - If you are willing then there are often opportunities to get involved in wider SB life and even though I wasn't in a technical role I joined a hackathon team last year. - There is a genuine sense of care and community and I worked with some awesome people. - On the whole the benefits are good and having PMI was really valuable for me.

Cons

The nature of the business means there will always be some form of change going on. If you aren't comfortable with a little bit of ambiguity you might find it hard.

Incredible culture!

Pros

There's a reason I've stayed at Simply Business 8 years. They hire great people and it's honestly a joy to come to work when you get to work with such talented and hard working people - there is a culture here that is hard to beat. As a part time employee I've never been made to feel that my contribution is any different to full time employees and I've been given the freedom to work as I need to. It's not rocket science that if you get flexibility you'll give more in return. Also particularly love the way they have embraced AI - I've personally learnt so much in the past year or so. Thank you Simply Business and keep up the great work!

Cons

There are some expectant people who look to the good old days and always compare and want to see the negatives of what the company is like now (there are very few) or believe the grass is greener elsewhere. The company is at a different stage of growth now and those people need to make a choice to either jump on the train or get off at the next station.
