Codat

At Codat anyone will be able to ask questions at the weekly Company meeting. The flatish structure makes asking questions to the CEO and others a very simple and casual affair and the answers given are satisfactory, detailed and honest.

The challenges and work available enrich an ecosystem of thrid-party apps targeted to small businesses and add real value to users. I am especially proud of the work we have done to help facilitate and process Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan applications for HSBC.

The disparate nature of third-party integrations mean there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to building them out. The system is always evolving and there are many challenges in scale and improving resiliency I have deeply enjoyed working on. I have always been empowered to look at our current systems and speculatively propose improvements without any mandate from above or until something has exploded and needs fixing.

The commission structure is very motivating for salespeople who back themselves to sign new customers.

When I joined there were 10 of us - an engineering team and a sales team. Now there's a much larger support system which includes product, solutions, partnerships and many more, which has made my life easier and has helped me to focus on driving revenue for the company.

I think the best thing about my job is being able to spend my days with lots of clever people with a diverse range of experiences.

It's a really exciting time at Codat as we are growing rapidly. It's great to be surrounded by so many dedicated people who are passionate about achieving our common objectives.

Everyone is made to feel that they have something valuable to contribute as a specialist in their field and this is very much reflected in the work that is produced.

There is plenty of variety which makes working here very exciting.

At Codat, I have been encouraged to ask challenging questions. We consider them to be a great occasion to clarify a feature and start a discussion, always making sure that problems and concerns, however complex, are identified and addressed. Teams at Codat are always up to sharing what they are working on, as we value our team members learning about our business and understanding our product from a different perspective.

Codat is growing quickly! It's great to work with new people who are up to sharing their experiences. This also means that there are many opportunities to work across teams. As new business needs are identified, exciting roles and short-term projects are available to develop new skills.

Codat is in a growing industry and has developed a product that has received a lot of enthusiastic feedback from our users. It is exciting to be part of this adventure as we build new features that removes long-standing pain points of our clients!

There is a general culture that everything should be shared. Anyone from any team can have an idea or view about something even if its not directly related to your work and it will be taken seriously. It's actively encouraged to speak up about your experience at Codat as its the only way we can keep getting better.

We ensure that people feel that their work has a meaning. We know that not everything can be right or amazing 100% of the time and we're happy with that and make sure its the effort and determination that's recognized not simply the output. We have recently introduced a prize draw every time an epic closes.

On applying for a job you will see our values clearly shown and these are rigorously stuck to in reality as well. Our founding team are always available for general chats as there is no sense of 'these are the founders' its a real feeling of we are all in this together. We have created a social channel through slack so that you can have 'random' coffee breaks with team members you might not know and this enables us to keep a united workforce even when the team is remote. Our values are clear and directly relate to what we are trying to achieve and therefore can really be seen day to day.
