Pros

This has been a challenging but rewarding place to work, we improve people's sight - what could be more rewarding? We have some incredible products to bring to market. There are genuinely fantastic, talented, and highly dedicated people here. Many individuals have grown their careers significantly within the organisation, and recent restructures are proof that internal progression is possible. For those working remotely in particular, there is excellent flexibility and autonomy it’s generally about what you achieve rather than time spent “in the saddle.” which is getting rarer in the market! In my experience, the business has also been very supportive when it comes to personal challenges, which makes a real difference. You need to be scrappy, proactive, have accountability and be willing to roll up your sleeves, this isn’t an easy 9–5 role, but it can be fulfilling for the right person. Base compensation and benefits are fair for an organisation of the size.

Cons

The last couple of years haven’t been easy due to business performance and constraints, and that has inevitably impacted the working environment. That said, there is a strong sense that the organisation understands where improvements are needed and that change is on the agenda. The business has grown through acquisition, and as a result the culture and matrix structure can feel fragmented at times. A more joined-up, cohesive approach throughout would benefit both employees and outcomes. Overall the infrastructure needs investment (specifically IT). While this is recognised and on the improvement agenda, it does impact day-to-day experience. At times, the organisation is trying to do too much. Greater focus (doing fewer things but exceptionally well) would help reduce strain and improve effectiveness.
