Pros

A nice work location and some lovely people.

Cons

Workload is unmanageable and stressful, they pretend they care and then expect more. Pay does not reflect skills required to complete the job. Bonus is good but there’s always a threat you won’t get it. The office is quiet as people are discouraged from talking openly and those that do talk or express honest concerns are quickly labelled as negative. Despite the recent pandemic they have a hot desking system so daily desk cleaning and crawling on the floor to set your computer up is required. Progression opportunities are for their favourites or those that have worked there a long time. These staff can also take full advantage of flexible working and go to appointments, the gym, get their haircut, work a 4 day week whilst others are refused the same option to do so. Staff turnover is very high for a company of that size. The company values enforce expected behaviour's. Staff are expected to speak only positively about the company and leave positive reviews on platforms like this. People that dare speak up and raise any concerns soon leave.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re deeply saddened that you’ve felt this way about your experience at Beyondly and are grateful for the feedback provided. We believe that our hotdesking set up encourages our open and collaborative culture and allows staff to interact with others outside of their usual teams. Following staff feedback, we have implemented desk cleaning stations and installed plugs at each desk to make setting up workstations easier. Role vacancies arise through a business need or employee movement, and are advertised internally and/or externally for any employee to apply for. As with any recruitment drive, the candidate best suited for the role, through their skills, development and experience, is appointed. We encourage employees to be proactive in their personal development and everyone has the opportunity to discuss career aspirations and development plans during quarterly 1-1s and every effort is made to facilitate and support individual development activities, in alignment with the resource needs. Our flexible working initiative is available to all employees that have been with the company for 3 months or more, allowing everyone the same opportunity to take longer lunchbreaks, or an earlier finish/ later start with a view to then work the time back when best suits them. Any permanent flexible working requests are considered based on the needs of the department and the potential impact (both positive and negative) that a change in working pattern for any individual within that team would bring. We believe that our values drive our business purpose and vision, to create a better, fairer, sustainable world for all and encourage employees to act with trust, commitment, respect, passion and innovation in all they do at Beyondly. The company values are our employee competencies, which helps with building our culture and ensures that everyone understands what is expected of them in their role and approach. We welcome any feedback, whether positive or constructive and are keen to hear more about your experience and how we can improve. If you’d like to share, please email us at HR@beyond.ly.

Pros

The culture and the people really are what make Beyondly great. There’s a genuine focus on personal and professional development, with great benefits, incentives and opportunities that you can make use of if you want to grow both personally and professionally. If you’re looking for a Marketing role and you’re keen to learn and develop, Beyondly is a fantastic place to be. The Marketing management team is amazing. They are supportive, encouraging, and really committed to helping you do your best work in a positive, collaborative environment.

Cons

There can be a high workload at times, which can be challenging, especially if you find juggling multiple tasks difficult. That said, the team is really supportive and will help you put practical measures in place to manage your workload and prioritise effectively.
