Switchee

Whilst working for Switchee you will see the direct impact your work is having on the quality of life for those living in social housing. We challenge the industry norms and create a new way of working with residents wellbeing at it's heart.

Switchee culture is built around trust. I work fully remote from home and we are all given flexibility around our own schedule. Some days I will start early and others I might start later, no questions asked!

With unlimited holidays and flexible working we have a fantastic baseline for employee wellbeing. As well as this, we are genuinely cared for. We have amazing retreat get togethers and even small gestures like receiving cookies on your birthday shows their care for you as a person, not just an employee.

Being a parent can be challenging when working full time. Switchee's flexible working policy is great and takes the pressure off. I often log on very early or work in the evening which is so helpful. My manager trusts me to manage my workload accordingly.

In Switchee I really feel that my options are valued, from the CEO, my line manager and my colleagues -everyone listens. It's very refreshing and has given my confidence a real "boost". I feel empowered for the first time in years!

Giving back and doing something for the "greater good" is something that is very close to my heart. The Switchee brand and all it's team are incredibly committed to making a difference and improving the quality of people's lives. I really believe in our product and it's a fantastic work atmosphere working with such inspirational and passionate people.

Switchee has great diversity in the team - everyone is welcome. As a disabled mum it was daunting going into interviews wondering whether the company would accept me for being "me". I didn't have to worry. Switchee has been, and continues, to be hugely supportive. At you Switchee you are embraced and welcomed just as you are. It makes it such an interesting and fun environment too!

In previous companies I have found that the busy day job can take over opportunities to stop, pause and think about what is next within your own career. I have been at Switchee for just over 7 months and I can honestly say I have already seen numerous colleague progress within the business. Within my own personal development an actionable plan is in place and I love knowing what my Switchee future looks like! Its motivating and really makes me get out of bed in the morning.

The SLT at Switchee are at the front and centre of the business. Regular communications from the CEO and the senior leaders ensures that every employee knows the companies vision and aspiration. An approachable, collaborative team who are there to provide support and direction.

The company is very generous in supporting us with our mental health and wellbeing. We have flexible working hours, we work remotely, we get access to therapy from Spill, we have quiet Wednesdays and we have unlimited holidays!

Our management is one of the best I have ever had in my career. They communicate clearly, they value honesty, new ideas, creativity, hard work and on top of all that they recognise all of the effort we make to reach our set company goals.

We have an annual Pay Review process, which doesn't discriminate based on length of service, gender, race and etc., but focuses on a fair market rate for each role and then aligns our salaries to it. I have worked at Switchee for 2 years and have never been disappointed with what I am paid or how my salary range has been researched

I've worked here for 2 years and still love it. We're growing at pace with a service that continues to be perfect for it's market, evolving all the time. I wish all companies were as supportive, agile, driven and nice with it. That's quite a mix of attributes, but this is honestly the best firm I've ever worked for.

Everyone here can be heard. Feedback here is very important, 360s, challenge and discussion are par for the course, supporting the culture of progress.

Hiring the wrong people is never good. We have a culture fit interview as part of the process involving colleagues form elsewhere in the business. We also have a monthly pub trip and quarterly retreats which are really well attended and fun to go to.

Switchee tries to improve the quality of lives for people living in rented accommodation. Our product is innovative and aims to support residents with improved technology to control their heating system and big data to improve landlords understanding of their property portfolio and maintenance requirements.

Super flexible working with a hybrid working policy. For me, there is a real nice balance between working remotely and face to face time with your team. Quarterly get togethers, working away week and a policy that allows you to work from anywhere for one week per year.

Our team are energised by what we do and focussed around achieving success for our customers and in turn Switchee. The pandemic has been a challenging period for sure but people have continued to work hard and support each other to continue our amazing growth journey.
