Great place to work - Producer/Director Big Button Employee Review

Having left Big Button a little over a year ago to seek a new opportunity, I've recently returned to the company and am really happy to be back. The team were a major factor in attracting me back to the business – a fantastic group of people who get to know you on a personal level and who are always open to new ideas and approaches. Every member of the team is approachable and always willing to help each other. The senior leadership team do a great job of creating an authentic team spirit with regular social events and team meetings. There is complete transparency around the performance of the business from top to bottom. Big Button is always willing to invest in its people to improve individual employees and boost the creative output of the company. I wouldn't have returned to Big Button if I didn't love working here.

Very little. As with any company in a creative industry, you are expected to juggle workload and tight deadlines which can sometimes result in late nights or weekend working. But those situations are very few and far between. The senior leadership team give you as much notice as possible if any unsocialble hours working is required and all employees are compensated generously for their time. The team will always look to share the workload to minimise the need for one person having to work evenings or weekends where possible.

Big Button is a very fun place to work. The culture is important to the leadership, and it shows. It’s a great place to work for anyone wanting to develop skills and progress their career, as there is always an opportunity to step into new responsibilities and have open discussions about where you want your role to go next.

Like most small businesses, there are times when it’s necessary for employees to take on cross-role duties. A lot of people enjoy this kind of work, but on occasion it can create difficulties and should be reviewed with leadership regularly.
