Flexible 4-day work week. Wide breadth of knowledge and experience to learn from. Supportive and genuine company culture.

The flexibility, the people are kind and helpful, lots of opportunity to learn and grow.
Flexibility - 4 Day Work Week trial People - friendly and always willing to help Rewards - testing new products, discounts for our products and eating ice-cream!
In the office, the culture is good. With people very friendly and always willing to help. Also in-office benefits like ice cream, so people sometimes take breaks together and get ice cream.
Lack of succession planning for roles (no handover documents).
Sometimes things can be slow to get done, very complicated system process and approval processes.
Training and development by line managers. As the business is lean, line managers are often stretched with limited time to grow the upcoming generation.
Work can be stressful. There is always a mountain of work to get done - and everyone holds themselves to a very high standard.
Being placed far away from where I live. Long commute
