SMG reviews

We’re proud to hear you describe us as an 'incredible company'. Putting our people first isn’t just a line for us - it’s central to how we operate. It’s great to know our values, transparency around performance, and the way we share strategy are landing in the way we intend. And we’ll always take 'fantastic benefits' as a win! You’re right that we move at pace. SMG is ambitious and growing, and that creates a high-energy environment that won’t be for everyone. We try to be upfront about that, while also making sure people feel supported to succeed within it. On the bonus structure - thank you for calling it out. Feedback like this is important. We regularly review how we reward and recognise our people to ensure it’s fair, motivating and aligned to our ambitions. We’ll continue to listen and evolve where needed. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review - and for being part of SMG for over a decade. We’re especially pleased to hear you call out our ambition, leadership and team culture. Building an environment where people can grow, particularly at junior levels, is something we care deeply about. Seeing that recognised is brilliant. You’re also right about the pace. We are moving quickly – evolving, expanding and challenging ourselves as we grow. That momentum creates opportunity, but it can also bring growing pains. We don’t shy away from that. Our focus is on scaling in a way that protects what makes SMG special: strong leadership, clear ambition and a culture where people can succeed. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience - and for continuing to help shape what comes next.
