Thanks for your feedback. Really pleased you found it a nice place to work - and we loved working with you too! We work really hard to create a great working environment… and maybe we are a little over-enthusiastic at times :wink: The vast majority of Backbasers in Cardiff work very independently from HQ. However, you were in one of a handful of roles that were part of a centralized team whilst we built the capability locally. Since then, we’ve grown and moved to a more decentralized setup. We benchmark our benefits regularly to ensure we’re attracting the very best talent. Always keen to hear feedback where we fall short. Good luck in your new role!

Pros

One of the best jobs I've ever had. Unfortunately my role got cut due to layoffs but I would have stayed here for years if that weren't the case. Great autonomy to employees, great collaboration, communication and organization. Good leadership.

Cons

Unexpected rounds of layoffs, but it was the case in tech for a while.
