REA Group Reviews

Pros

Flexible, good environment, supportive and encourages growth

Cons

Not very competitive salary compared against market

Pros

- thoughtful ELT - so apparent during covid, how employees were treated during this time is phenomenal. They balanced business needs (which they obviously need to do, none of us would have a job if they didn't look after the business side of things!) with a caring human approach. I compare this to friends and family in other organisations who were not treated with as much care and support as we were. No salary cuts, fair approach to bringing down company wide leave balances. - every company has challenges, that is the point of working, we all want to have meaty things to solve and do! Some companies I have worked for have had challenges which are demeaning and things we should have moved past by now. Women treated as if it were 50 years ago and businesses run in general like the series Mad Men. I am proud to say that at REA we have very very little of this carry on going on. You only have to look at our ELT to see the gender balance and across the company as a whole gender balance is close to 50/50. There are pockets of course where this is not the case but it is something actively being worked on. - transparency - we have very transparent leaders - health, wellbeing and learning and development - sustainability - fun culture with positive people

Cons

- we work hard! But I find it invigorating :) autonomy, empowerment and trust comes with it's cons where responsibility is high and we work hard. - time to do all the amazing things on offer can be hard to juggle

Pros

Amazing perks, great office and flex work arrangements are available depending on the team you're in

Cons

Messaging from middle management can be very mixed and your experience will vary greatly depending on who your manager is

Pros

Smart people who are also just really great people. Small that you can make a difference, large enough to have real impact. Takes product management and people leadership seriously. It's a fun and exciting place to work. I joined expecting to stay for a year or two. This will be my tenth year — it just never gets boring, it never fails to be challenging and I've learned and grown in all sorts of ways. I've made lifelong friends here and the sense of ambition remains huge.

Cons

It can be tiring, busy, and ambiguous at times. It's human-intensive and highly collaborative. If that's not your style you may not have fun. It can be complex to navigate and like anywhere, it has its frustrating moments. Other places are faster to "ship" or experiment if that's your thing, but the scale and position means it's possible to make real, lasting, large-scale impact.
