Pros

Parts of the office has been refurbished to a very high standard. However this has not been the case on all floors and you do have to be part of the "in crowd" to benefit from this. On joining the company you are promised the freedom to mold your own path, build on your career and be part of something special. On the surface this seems an amazing place to work.

Cons

Do not be blinded by HR prancing around promoting a positive and supportive culture, it simply is a facade. You will be expected to work long hours with no benefits other than a few beers and a pizza on a Friday evening. Training will be promised and then revoked and you will not receive any support within your role. The senior managers are an aggressive and condescending. Because of this the staff turn over is immense. In a company of aprox 100 based in the Nottingham office over 10% at any time are working there ridiculous 3 month notice. No wonder so many people go off sick. With some departments having over half the headcount resigning within a 2 month period the recruitment team have a very tough job and are forced to write the fake reviews you see here.

Pros

UNiDAYS is a company filled with enthusiastic and fun people. When we were in-office, I was always excited to come into work each day and spend time with my coworkers. Many of those coworkers are now friends, even after leaving the company.

Cons

For the NY office, the fact that almost all of the other employees are were in the UK sometimes made communication challenging. Everyone does try and do their best, though.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about your time at UNiDAYS. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed your time working here and made friendships that will continue past your employment. Communication is more important than ever now that we’re working remotely, so I appreciate your point around communication across different offices. We have already taken feedback on board and recently adopted Q&A sessions between the US team and the Leadership team to provide updates on our strategic goals as well as answer any local market questions. We’ve also introduced the UNiDAYS Mindful Charter, which has guidance around being conscious of time zones and methods of communication. We will continue to build on this to improve communication between the offices. We appreciate you providing your feedback and wish you the best in your next role.

Cons

It is unbelievably difficult place to work if you want to do truly great creative work. The budget is very small and schedule for the projects tend to be irrational. Getting warnings for working overtime or being asked to lower standards is unbearable. Working with the office in a different time zone is a real pain and the difference in work ethic is pretty irritating. Also not a huge fan of the company culture making rules for everything and interrogate workers without accurately assessing the issues. They create process for the sake of process making it very hard to get the work done. They serve as a nest for territorial and uncooperative people too.
