A brilliant place to work - Bid Writer Kittle Group Employee Review

I really enjoyed my three years at Kittle. The work was always varied across all kinds of sectors, which provides a broad range of experience very quickly. If you are a humanities grad or someone who likes writing, Kittle is a great place to learn fast and get the skills for a great career. You are given a lot of responsibility to deliver complete projects either by yourself or as part of a (usually) small team, so if you take pride in your work, this process is often very satisfying. There is a uniquely fun atmosphere in the office that will be hard – if not impossible – to find elsewhere. It is, however, far from a 'lads club', so don't let that put you off. Alan, Sam, and Chris genuinely care about making the company a good place to work (and it is).

While Kittle management are always very reasonable, they can't control what client's do and don't do, which can be stressful. There is generally no working from home, which may be an issue for some. This is part of the company culture though, and if you buy into this (move locally, get involved in socials etc) you will have fun.

Great social atmosphere and fun team - expect team outings, festivals, running groups, and spontaneous nights out Extremely varied work, you'll work with all kinds of businesses, large and small, and in almost every industry. Some project will make you pull your hair out, others are frankly incredible. You'll work with huge players in all kinds of fields and will have an elite LinkedIn network in no time. Decent pay for a graduate - but the workload doesn't always reflect this!

If you're expecting a professional workplace - this is not it. Expect open disputes and arguments between senior staff, as well as regular inappropriate language. Stress and late nights. Management will pile work on you. Almost everyone there has worked evenings and even weekends unpaid. Management ask staff to record this time to pay overtime or give TOIL, but in practice they can be reluctant to do so. A point for the ladies: This is a very male company. Expect crude jokes, a real 'lads club' at the top, and the possibility of having a harder time being heard by management. There are a lot of great ladies working there, so you still won't be alone!
