HowNow

The product is not necessarily complex but it makes more sense after working with it , and this was accommodated during the onboarding process. My manager and the wider team are always on hand to answer questions. I learn new potentials of the product daily and how to maximise the experiences of our stakeholders.

My colleagues have had years of experience within the industry and go to great efforts to making their knowledge accessible to me and the team. They also display high levels of self-awareness and dedication to their deliverables that makes it a focused work environment. I feel challenged to be better at communicating and ensuring that my team-mates are aware of processes required to meet our goals.

The onboarding was quick , took around three weeks from introduction to offer. My role required a good understanding of the product , and I was encouraged to ask questions prior to the deadline and also during the interview stages. Once I started, the team was welcoming and on-hand to introduce me to the company culture. The culture has stood the test of time and promises made prior to joining. I'm still very pleased.

If you are passionate and delivering results, there is very little red tape standing in the way of your progress - which is often a challenge at companies. HowNow gives you the freedom to own your role and therefore influence your own progression.

Just a bunch of good eggs - don't need to say much more than that. Fun people to be around. Think: people who take their job seriously but not themselves.

Wind-down Fridays and an output over hours mentality mean you have the freedom to structure your days in a way that works best for you. We also have a 1-2 days in the office policy and the rest of the week we work from home.

One of the most special things about HowNow is definitely the people. We have a dedicated slack channel where we constantly praise and give shout-outs to each other. The level of support and encouragement is heart warming.

I personally feel that I have both the freedom and flexibility to work in ways that suit me best. I feel comfortable collaborating and designing new and improved processes with other teams. I also feel empowered to manage my own workload without any micromanagement.

I am beyond grateful to have a manager who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty. If I require support or assistance, my manager will not hesitate to join a call with a customer. Also, I was recently on annual leave and my manager kindly covered my work and allowed me to have an enjoyable break.

Great work is praised on our Slack Channel for example - we call it HowNow Love. It can happen peer to peer or with reports/ managers. Work is also recognised with other perks or bonuses

We have access to Mindspace and we usually go to the office twice per day. The rest day of the days allow us to have a nice life-work balance working from home. Also you might decide to start your day earlier and finish earlier too as long as you meet your targets, that's ok

Since I joined HowNow I have felt autonomous and independent to create processes, implement new ideas and manage my workload. This along with the right support from my manager has enabled me to thrive during my time in HowNow

HowNow is pretty flexible with where and when you work. Most people come to the office on Thursdays, and other teams come in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We also have 'Wind down Fridays', meaning no meetings booked in the diary on Friday afternoons, which is great!

Team leads really encourage you to try out new ideas and initiatives, and are very supportive! If something isn't working, then your opinions and potential solutions are valued. HowNow are keen on you taking action on your own ideas!

The team are some of the friendliest people I have ever worked with. There is a really positive energy in the office when everyone is in, and everyone is always keen to pitch in and help where needed. I couldn't ask for nicer colleagues.

Workload is flexible- you can work how you want, when you want. A lot of opportunities to have a say into new processes and ideas. Senior management want to hear how we want to work.

The teams across the business are incredible! I love my team but there is a lot of cross-over with other areas of the business. Great social community

All levels of the business get a say. Whether its from socials to business tools we need, everyone gets to have an opinion. Even as an entry level job I have always felt heard.

I have regular catch ups with my Manager where I lead the agenda. They want to hear my ideas and issues, and are very happy to talk me through them all. Offering guidance when needed and helping me reach my aim.

There are organised office days Tuesday and Thursday which the team are invited and encouraged to come in. It isn't mandatory but the team still come in to see each other and collaborate. I like the idea of changing my work scenery from at home to in the office every other day. The constantly fresh environment really helps with my concentration.

Not only is learning core to the HowNow product, it's also core to our every day work life. We have access to a wide range of courses through our partnerships, we have Lunch & Learns hosted by team members, and a development budget we can use to help further ourselves. If I want to learn something that'll help with my job, the opportunity is very much there.

The people at HowNow are great to work with. It makes it super easy to go into the office as you are with people who you enjoy being with. There is also a nice social culture and a committee which organises the socials.

HowNow focuses on employee wellbeing by allowing them to take Friday afternoon to do what you wish to do. There is always an interest from the leadership team to ensure its employees are doing well and what can be done to improve.

There is an opportunity to learn at HowNow with a budget which you are allocated every year to use on learning how you want to. You also have the opportunity for cross-department learning as it is a startup.

The people who work at HowNow are great - they're friendly and positive and a pleasure to be around. Overall they do a fantastic job of keeping things moving at all times!

My manager is especially pleasant to work with. They are open-minded and passionate about leading people effectively and ensuring time is not wasted on unnecessary work.

There are lots of challenges when working for a small-scale business, especially when you're in a small team. Expectations are high but headcounts are low so you have to make things work in an effective and efficient manner.

I always feel supported and encouraged to learn new skills, try different things and take ownership of my career progression. I have regular check-ins with my manager to make sure I stay on track to my own goals as well as company KPIs.

There are plenty of opportunities to communicate and share ideas. Our CEO regularly sends updates to the team to communicate what's going on in different departments. Everyone at the company is welcome to share learnings, celebrate wins, and ask for help. Even as a quiet shy person, I feel completely comfortable opening up and sharing my thoughts with the team!

We have fantastic ethnic and gender diversity and I'm extremely proud of it. We're a bunch of diverse people from different backgrounds, cultures and ages but we all come together to make up a superstar team.

Great company culture backed by awesome founders. Definitely the best company I've ever worked for. The product is market leading and the journey is just beginning. An absolute gem of a business and perfect time to join as we scale to the biggest heights.

Work hard, play hard. That's the motto. Company supports flexible working and it's a big big plus. Whether you have kids, dogs or things to do, they have your back.

Work hard, play hard. That's the motto. Great work is always recognised. No small cog in a big wheel, everyone has a role to play and a contribution to make.
