Pros

- Offers remote working but that is changing now to two days - Takes user feedback seriously - Very transparent with business performance - Monthly staff events are encouraging

Cons

- Good talent will leave the business within a year and nothing will be done to keep them - Too many stakeholders can delay the outcome of your tasks - There is a culture to keep things as they are and not try anything new - No career oppourtunity - Culture deck is pretty rude and bland - Poor pay - no real benefits but they are changing that lately - lengthy probation period

Thank very much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased you appreciated our transparency and the monthly social events at Mumsnet. We are fully committed to flexible, hybrid working - we ask people to come in a couple a days a week because we think that there are benefits in the form of learning, creativity, friendship and fun but we've always tried to be flexible when it comes to individual circumstances/working around family or caring responsibilities. I'm sorry you weren't keen on our culture deck; we try to be as straightforward and honest as we can and we're often told that it provides useful insight but we appreciate we aren’t the right fit for everyone. We will certainly take a look at your feedback on sick pay during probation to make sure we're being fair and competitive. Thanks for raising it and best of luck with what you go on to do next.

Pros

The owner loves to boast that parents will “never miss a sports day”

Cons

In reality the company is filled with miserable employees (mostly women) who are burdened with the golden handcuffs of having the flexibility of working around childcare but hating your job.
