      Mission-driven company to work for

      Pros

      • Mission-driven organisation – the work directly contributes to empowering women and non-binary people in tech, which feels purposeful and rewarding. • Collaborative team culture – colleagues are approachable, supportive, and genuinely care about each other’s success. • Strong community focus – you see the impact of your work reflected in the learners and partners we support. • Flexibility – very supportive of remote working and flexible hours where possible. • Opportunities to grow – exposure to a range of projects, partners, and platforms means you can develop both technical and soft skills. • Values-led – transparency, kindness, and teamwork are baked into the culture.

      Cons

      • Fast-paced with shifting priorities – can sometimes feel reactive rather than strategic, requiring adaptability. • Limited formal training/mentorship – learning is often on the job; structured support could be stronger. • Resourcing challenges – as a growing organisation, there are times when capacity is stretched and workload feels heavy. • Tech processes still maturing – documentation, repos, and workflows could be more standardised to reduce dependency on hand-holding.
