Staff Engineer, Attest

Changes can be driven by anyone regardless of seniority or job role from honestly and openly sharing feedback. Attest is a very feedback driven environment where everyone wants to bring the best out of each other.

Attest is very inclusive in the decisions made by leadership, they are extremely transparent and honest. Always willing to share the thought processes and decisions publicly for the successes and failures within the compant.

Management at Attest really cares for individuals as real human people. Attest is always supportive when things get difficult. Attest's management is quick in adapting and supporting of individuals when times are difficult and default to trust.

At Attest, everyone is free to give their insights and opinions to company directions, nobody is left out and anyone who has a strong interest can really make a real contribution. When mistakes are made, we are incredibly open and transparent about them, not taking the blame-game and instead talk about what we can do better next time. Every week our CEO gives a very informative update on company financial progress to all employees. If you have concerns or problems, you are free to openly ask anyone in the company, publicly or anonymously.

You are free to drive any initiatives you desire. You can identify, suggest, drive and lead any projects you like, so long as you believe they can benefit us. Management are really open & encouraging everyone to take a direct role in improving Attest

At our company all-hands, you are free to ask questions, publicly or anonymously, and they are respected & answered no matter what. In my time here, I have never been ignored, my opinions have never been disregarded for no good reason, and I have always been encouraged to give feedback in all parts of the company because we all have unique experiences and we're so eager to learn from one another.

Very proactive managers, established career growth frameworks with regular reviews and salary benchmarking, supported learning (both in training opportunities and official 10% time).

Autonomous squads are set up with clear OKRs derived from the North Star Metric for the business. We determine the experiments that are most likely to influence these metrics and therefore have the freedom and autonomy to have impact in the best way. Each squad uses slightly different tools in the agile toolbox to reflect our different ways of working.

Fundamentally Attest is a *very* people first company. It really goes over and above looking after employees. I think this was really demonstrated during the pandemic, no one was furloughed, and everyone was consulted and kept up to date on plans for remote working support including £300 per person for home work set up. We're given generous annual budgets for learning and policies like compassionate leave and parental leave are really thought through and written with individuals in mind.

The people at Attest genuinely nice and hardworking, and I've made some great friends despite the remote nature of work these days.

Their care for diversity and inclusion shows in their hiring process. I'm never the only woman of colour in the room — in fact, in my product team, people of colour are the majority! I've never in my life worked with such a racially diverse team, and it truly feels like a safe space. They have some work to do with leadership, as most tech companies do, but they're nailing the IC hires.

Since the pandemic, Attest has been fully remote and even supporting those who want to move to and work from other countries, within reason. I never feel like I'm expected to be glued to my laptop, and people are very empathetic if life things come up that take priority.

The people at Attest is what makes the company so great. Everyone is nice, friendly and genuine. It’s hard to find another place like it when it comes to the people.

There is a reasonably flat structure which means you can really get involved with projects you’re keen on and even lead on if you are able to demonstrate thinking behind it. However the autonomy and flat structure can mean it’s hard to tell who’s a decision maker vs who is just giving their opinion.

Recompense fairly to the market rate.

Attest is a company where everyone from the CEO down actually lives the company values. The company is full of smart people who care about the product, and one another, and are trusted to get on with their job. I love it!

Everyone is encouraged to give feedback, through formal reviews every six months, to asking questions of the leadership team, to a great enthusiastic culture of “high fives”. Every week the ceo gives a thorough honest presentation of the company figures. It’s so transparent!

From regular feedback for everyone (including senior management) every six months, to weekly High Fives for everything and anything, when good work is done, we recognise it
