Strategic Analyst, Multiverse

Never have I worked at a company that is experiencing so much financial growth where social drivers are at the core of our values. WhiteHat wants to disrupt higher education and make education accessible, inclusive and diverse; allowing people from any background to obtain quality education without the barriers of the cost of university.

Everyone I work with has this inner fire where they are truly passionate and driven about their work and where they truly care about their learners, while still maintaining that curiosity that leads to a great educational environment. Managers care about their employees, and so does the company as a whole, even putting on weekly and biweekly professional development sessions. Within 2 months of starting, I already had WhatsApp groups with the people I worked with most.

Whether that's the content in the course you are teaching of which you're developing a deeper understanding, weekly CPD (continuous professional development) sessions, or just casual chats with coaches on other programmes, you are always learning. As a company with education at its heart and a belief in learning is for life, we get many opportunities to learn throughout and are left in enough autonomy to take those opportunities on board.

The work we do makes a difference in people's lives. Helping diverse talent to learn, grow and unlock their potential. Our incredible coaches create truly meaningful experiences which have a lasting impact on their careers and their lives.

WhiteHat's people are where the magic lies. I've never worked with such a bunch of passionate, smart and bloody lovely individuals as I have at WH. Its a genuine pleasure to look around and think I'm part of such a quality team.

This one goes without saying. To be part of an organisation creating opportunities for diverse talent access the best careers and create meaningful lifelong learning experiences for people to fulfil their ambitions.

WhiteHat is an extremely values driven organization - promotions, recognition and celebrations happen based on company values. There is a values champion every Monday and the company definitely works on the idea "best idea wins" regardless of seniority.

WhiteHat has a mission to build an outstanding alternative to uni and traditional corporate training - they are disruptive and focused on levelling the playing field for all - in areas of key skills needs. Everyone is united around this which makes it an inspiring place to work!

The term rocket ship is drastically over used - but when you look at whitehat, the growth is super sonic! Our proposition resonates with individuals and companies , and we truly are a category of 1.

Working at Whitehat offers the unique chance to make a meaningful social impact every single day.

The rate of explosive growth with a social mission at the heart of that growth is truly unique. It also provides regular opportunities to take ownership of new ideas and enable change at all levels of the organization.

Whitehat's social mission is at the heart of the business. It is clear from day one that all Whitehat employees share in the company's values and examples are shared widely to acknowledge individual and team contributions towards these.

I've never worked at a place where the people are both extremely good at what they do, but are also so supportive in helping you grow and thrive in the company.

The main thing that differentiates WhiteHat from other high growth startups is the mission - actually seeing the difference we make to young people and the ambitions to change society as a whole.

I've been at the company for just over a year and joined as employee no. 90 - we're now double that size with no signs of slowing! The growth allows me to learn lots and really progress with the company.

Our team is led by genuine world-leaders in start up sales. The amount I've learned in the last two years dwarfs my previous 10 years of work and degree combined. We're incredibly lucky to have a leadership so focused on development.

We're building the world's first mission-driven unicorn. The number of lives we've changed is already countless, but there are still a number of individual stories I will take with me for life. I wake up every day so excited to do more.

We hire world leaders in senior positions and hungry, intelligent professionals everywhere else. I'm constantly challenged to do more, go further and be better by those around me. There is also the emotional intelligence to create a culture that is driven but not aggressive or isolating - the team is the closest I've ever worked in.

Every single person I work with is genuinely lovely, it is the first place I've worked where I have felt a part of a real team and wider community. When I first started, I couldn't believe how many people reached out just wanting to get to know me and say 'hi'.

The values we work on the basis of are at the core of everything at WhiteHat. Everyone is constantly thinking about how to provide an outstanding alternative to university and making sure our apprentices come first. I love getting feedback from apprentices on how the programme has changed their outlook on their career.

There is such a focus on professional development for coaches. There are so many amazing people with skills in such a range of areas that I am constantly learning. I came to WhiteHat from teaching, ironically, I finally feel like I'm learning again here.

Within a week I felt like I'd been friends with my colleagues for years. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming

There are such strong connections within teams and between different teams across the company, any time anyone needs help on something, there's always someone ready to chip in and help out. People are always checking in with each other to make sure we're ok and have what we need to succeed and be happy.

We have a clear mission and set of values to support that mission, and there's a strong focus on keeping our apprentices and our social impact front and centre of every decision we make.

The team at WhiteHat are brilliant! Most of the team I work in were onboarded remotely and yet have still established excellent working relationships

I have never worked for an organisation with clearer values and everyone has great access to the senior leadership team

The data and insights team is absolutely world-class, plus there's a massive team of data analytics coaches to call on for any data related questions

I've never experienced a more considerate onboarding, that ensures you not only feel welcome in your own team, but integrated across the whole organisation. It focused greatly on key values and inclusion from the start - and motivating newcomers to be the best they can be.

WhiteHat believe in you (probably more than yourself!) and want you to know that along your journey. On a weekly basis there are heaps of learning sessions from different teams as well as generally great communication across the company which brings about lots of learning. In my team, we were given access to invaluable marketing training and support for our development.

Recognition and celebration at WhiteHat is a very common occurrence - and as genuine as it can get. We have a Slack channel dedicated to shout outs and award a weekly Values Champ. We are so positively driven by our mission -when one of us wins we all win!

Whitehat’s mission is to create a diverse group of future leaders and that’s exactly what we’re doing! The most important thing for me is that we practice what we preach and allow people to show up as themselves whilst we work together towards this collective goal.

There are plenty of opportunities at WhiteHat to experience different parts of the business and to learn something new. Multiple times, I’ve seen people express a pipe dream to a manager and that person get support to see out that dream and turn it into reality. We’ve had people move from sales to ops, from leadership training to data science and to customer care to software engineering.

I was going to choose nice people because everyone at WH is incredibly caring and people first - but it’s not as passive as just ‘nice people’. The people at WhiteHat show all the time that good people win and they use their energy as a force for good change. I love it.

Having joined WhiteHat in the midst of the pandemic, I've been so impressed with how well I've been onboarded and embedded into the team. It's made my experience so far truly rewarding. There are so many opportunities to progress and grow, and that's made apparent from day 1.

Our mission runs at the heart of what we all do at WhiteHat, and it's well and truly reflected by everyone in the company.

Throughout the organisation, D&I is a huge priority, from opportunities to learn and grow through to tangible action taken - it's clear that WhiteHat takes this very seriously.

The values are clear, meaningful and celebrated each week with a nominated values champ at the company-wide meeting. Most importantly they are genuinely meaningful, with recruiting decisions aligned to talent that have the expertise but are also values-aligned

Our mission is seeking to change society by creating an outstanding alternative to university, we are contributing towards changing the face of social mobility and diversity by creating opportunities and supporting people to be successful.

The people are so collaborative, caring and are genuinely excellent humans - I can't explain how lucky I feel to work in a culture like ours
