Amazing company to work for

Pros

- People are both incredibly smart and supportive. - We are all united behind a common goal: to change the world of pet food for good. I love the can-do attitude everyone has to bring us closer to this vision. - The pace at which decisions get made and at which projects progress is fantastic. - The work environment itself is brilliant: having dogs around brings a lot of joy. - It feels like a luxury to work in Richmond: whilst a workday is very intense, walking along the river at lunchtime or going for a run in Richmond Park after work is incredibly re-energising.

Cons

- There is a strong feedback culture which might not be for everyone. If you're always looking to improve yourself, you'll thrive. - Workdays are intense so if you are looking for a relaxed environment with time carved in for personal admin, this is not the right environment for you. - We are at the scale-up stage so there is a lot to do and you need to be ready to have your fingers in many pies: one minute you might be involved in designing strategy, the next minute you are cleaning up the kitchen microwave. In any case, there is no time to get bored!

Funny that you bring up the microwave example, I think it’s one of those small things that make a massive difference to one of our core values, team spiritedness. Thanks for such a rich and balanced review of life at tails.com. Henrik Malmquist Head of People, tails.com

Pros

The opportunity to learn and develop your career is phenomenal. If you have the drive and determination, the opportunities are endless. I've learn more working for Tails.com than I have all of my previous roles combined. What makes this place special is the people. You work alongside some super intelligent, good human beings. It feels relaxed and everyone is free to just be themselves. We have over 15 dogs in the office everyday which keep you connected to why we do what we do... and it's also really fun. Daily breakfasts, bottomless snack cupboard, regular celebrations... there's always something fun happening.

Cons

When I say we work hard, I mean it. Sometimes I feel like I'm reaching my limit but just when I feel like it's getting too much, things calm down and I'm able to enjoy things again.
