Pros

The people are generally friendly.

Cons

Lack of company culture - unless you count a weekly company update on a Friday morning as culture. No real career development or opportunities for progression. Occasionally they will change people's job titles and mask it as a "promotion" - but they'll often be left doing the same job as before, just with a more senior job title. Large amounts of staff turnover. In recent months, a lot of senior employees have either resigned, been pushed out, or have been made redundant - including the Head of Marketing, Head of Sales, Head of HR, Chief of Staff, and the COO/Co-founder. All of these were important employees, and none of them have been replaced - with the remaining employees having to absorb aspects of their role. No work-life balance. Everyone is overworked (and often under-appreciated). The company has given everyone a "wellness hour" each week - but irrespective of this, you have to work a crazy amount of overtime.

Thank you for your review. Like all businesses, ours has been affected by Covid-19 and we have had to restructure the team in various ways as a result. Despite the challenges of the last year (and we absolutely recognise these), our current monthly employee feedback scores are higher than ever, covering everything from alignment with our company mission, work-life balance and support from management. We are a small team, but we pride ourselves on pulling together as a tight-knit unit to achieve great things. Many employees have been promoted during their time with us and promotions represent meaningful progression within the business. We are also pleased to be welcoming a number of new joiners to the team over the coming months, including at senior levels, to fill various business needs. All of these individuals have stellar backgrounds and will undoubtedly make fantastic contributions to our business. We are sorry you feel disappointed by your experience with flatfair and we encourage all employees to put forward any comments or suggestions for improvement via our many direct feedback loops, including weekly anonymous questions for our CEO, surveys, and regular 121s with managers.

Pros

flatfair is a welcoming company that is open to new ideas and committed to employee growth. The commercial team is incredibly collaborative, allowing new employees to learn the product very quickly. Office days are tons of fun and allow for opportunities to engage in person and learn from each other. Everybody on the team has always made me feel welcome and is always willing to help.

Cons

I have no cons to mention.
