Pros

Some benefits: private healthcare, discount on gym membership, day off on birthday and yearly increase in annual leave time (+1 day per year up to 35 max, starts at 25)

Cons

Salaries are stagnating, company forcing people to hybrid working mode (3-day office, 2 at home) while we worked without any problems fully remote for years.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you find our benefits, such as private healthcare, gym membership discounts, birthday leave, and the annual increase in leave time, valuable. We strive to offer benefits that support the well-being and work-life balance of our employees. Regarding your concerns about salaries, we regularly review salary structures to ensure they are fair and reflect the contributions of our employees. We have grown as a company in the last few years and decided to invest in our office space so we have a chance to work and have fun together. Our new office space is spacious, spanning three floors, and there are quite a number of fun activities happening, like board game Fridays, ping pong tournaments, and sweet Tuesdays. These activities enable us to get to know each other and grow together as a company. Some of our employees had never met their team's colleagues as we did not have enough space for everyone. This affects individuals, teams, and the company on many levels. We understand that it can be challenging to adjust, but we believe that in the long run, this will positively influence all of us as a company. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your honesty and value your perspective as it helps us improve. The Culture and Engagement Team

Thank you for your review. We are glad to see the 5 stars and read that you had a good experience working at Hyperoptic. Thank you as well for the feedback on bonuses and salary, it's important to us to know what employee and former employees think should be improved. We do have an annual salary review process, designed to ensure fair remuneration based on job performance and market standards. However, not every review results in an increase, as it depends on various factors that are defined for each review cycle. The same it is for the bonus, which is based on performance. Thanks again for your review, the Culture and Engagement Team

Pros

Shared workload, good hours, easy to learn network

Cons

Poor career progression, management don't listen to complaints or issues, a "seniority is always right" attitude that doesn't encourage collaboration or ideas

Your comments around career progression are something we would like to discuss more with you - please do reach out. We have rolled out a lot of work across the engineering workforce focused on bringing clarity on career pathways and what needs to happen to make that progression. Our culture is very much focused on working smarter. together which means sharing feedback, working on problem solving together so its not pleasing to hear your comments around ideas being discouraged. Please do get in touch as we would love to discuss your comments in more detail. Thank you, The Culture and Engagement team
