Swytch

The Management team are approachable and keep us all 'in the loop'. At the end of last year an All Wheels event was held which was great for learning about other departments and their successes over 2021, but also about what is to come in the future of Swytch.

We have Thankful Thursday on our morning stand up meeting and its a chance for people to thank individuals or groups who have helped out that week and not necessarily big projects, 'simple things' as well which really boosts everyone.

The team has grown from 10 at the end of 2020 to 45 at the end of 2022! Its growing fast but is still Swytch (something that a lot of start-ups loose sight of).

Very fast growth in the company has allowed me to learn quickly and grow my own responsibilities quickly

Love the team I get to work with! They're all so engaged and aligned with the mission. I feel energized from spending time with such a great bunch

I get exposure to all parts of the company and get to see how everyone is building the business as it is created

The ability to be able to work on our projects and be in charge of it with little micro-manangement

Always being able to train and gain new skills to further progress my career is essential to my personal development

A new stage in micro mobility that has the ability to change how personal transportation looks in the future

The company continues to work in innovation for sustainable transportation. I feel proud whenever I tell people that I work at Swytch!

The company is very diverse and inclusive. Swytch goes above and beyond to support the employees and create an inclusive workplace.

All employees are very nice and full of positive energy. Great people to work with!

Swytch is full of lovely people. At least one colleague will put a smile on your face every day, whether working remotely or in the office.

There's a high level of engineering, cycling and marketing expertise at Swytch. The flat hierarchy makes their expertise readily available whenever you need it.

A flat and open hierarchy means each and every member of the company can voice their opinion freely.

I have had complete autonomy to run my team in a way that suits me and them! No micromanaging from founders, instead clear targets of where they want to go. Incredibly refreshing.

For Swytch, having a team on board with your ideas and willing to go the extra mile is key, at the end of the day we are all part of the reason the business is a success 'thats impossible' is not in our lexicon.

The team will likely double in size in 2022, beefing up all areas of the business so that we can meet increased demand. That means more hands on deck and more brilliant people coming in the door!

The product is really amazing and to be part of the company and watching the ever growing success of the product is very exciting.

There are so many areas of the company that you can grow your skills and develop new areas of interest. The leadership team are really helpful to help you find your niche

There are many ways the company supports wellbeing and they are always looking for new ways to improve this

I am a new joiner and I can already tell that management is very supportive. I feel heard and that my opinion is valued.

Swytch is at the forefront of a revolution! We are changing the way we move around and we are doing with a healthy and responsible approach! The generations to come will experience the benefit of it and I am beyond proud to say I was in for this mission too!

I feel I am not been tested or judged - There is no Hot topic @ Swytch! You are always welcome to bring something up and discuss it with an open and honest mindset.

As it is a fast growing company, opportunity to quickly develop and jump up the chain is evident.

Swytch is full of highly intelligent individuals from amazing backgrounds, who have studied really great degrees, it makes working with them enjoyable and it feels like I am developing faster.

Since joining myself I have seen many people join the team. It is exciting seeing more players at the football meet ups every other week!

You can go and speak openly to anyone in the whole company, even the CEO

You can ask questions to anyone in any department and people are happy to teach each other and help learning

The management team is good at listening and always welcome feedback

Openness is one of our main values. The other 2 being Optimise and Own. We are given the autonomy to work to our best ability and we communicate with each other frequently. We have clear targets and I wasn't thrown into the deep end upon the arrival which was a huge relief and something you rarely find!

We are a family of all backgrounds and ethnic origins. When I joined, I felt like I was being welcomed in by a family. 26% of our staff are female and 42% of Swytch employees identity as non white-British. We take pride in being a company of diversity and inclusion and are still continuing to grow and expand!

Swytch have positioned themselves very firmly as a company who place the utmost importance on their employees wellbeing. At the start of 2022, we implemented an uncapped holiday allowance policy and it was inevitably very well received by all. I feel comfortable talking to HR and my line manager when issues arise in my personal life and I feel supported and appreciated.

As a fast growing ecommerce start up, there are always things to improve internally or externally for the customer! This means thinking fast, coming up with solutions and solving problems. This all creates massive reward when achieving goals in our roles.

The chance to learn is seen in your daily work and push for progression. However the company also supports external learning so you can further your career skills in e-learning!

Being a start up means new roles emerge, things change and ownership can see you advance quickly by putting your name to projects and seeing them through until the end. This allows you to take on further responsibility as time goes on!

A year ago there were 6 employees, now there are over 40 and growing fast.

Everyone is lovely, and its a very social environment even with hybrid working!

Working for Swytch has taught me so much in a short space of time. I had never worked for a start up business or in this particular industry but everyone around me has helped me understand the company. great place to work with a close/personal culture.

Everyone wants to achieve the best for the company and helps each other to get there. As everyone in the company is so close nobody wants to let anyone down or make life harder for other people.

You understand straight away what is expected of you. Weekly and monthly reviews to keep you on track and to so you have a clear understanding of where you are at

Regular progression talks and a progression plan in place. Acknowledgement when you've done good work and the appropriate step up in responsibility & promotions.

Daily stand ups with the whole company - and a culture that allows anyone to share in them. Whether you're an entry level employee, or senior management, all opinions are heard.

There's always the understanding that we, as people, come first. Multiple perks such as wellbeing programs and uncapped holiday really show that Swytch care about us and our mental (and physical) wellbeing.

We are a company of people from all backgrounds and diversity and inclusion is given a lot of importance here at Swytch.

As a growing and fast-paced start-up every day is different and challenges are presented all the time. I love the variety and being able to problem solve.

We've grown from 10 to 45 people in just over a year and plan to double in size in 2022! Its exciting
