Pros

Hybrid working, Regular meetings to give updates on company wide news.

Cons

You get blamed for other people's mistakes. Don't expect anyone to talk to you, more likely you will be directed to read an online article. Salaries are below average.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We have worked hard to create an environment without blame culture, so we’re sorry to hear that this does not align with the experience you’ve had. As a scaling business we have always maintained internal communication and collaboration is key. With weekly All Hands, internal news updates and whole company business reviews we encourage our Tillians to connect and share information readily. While we do have a lot of online resources for employees to ensure information is readily available, we also prioritise in-person collaboration which is demonstrated through our commitment to hybrid working, monthly team breakfasts and annual offsites.

Lovely People, terrible culture

Pros

Generally the people are still lovely, this is generally a bi-product of living in Brighton, but there was at one stage a concerted effort to hire the best people to fit in with the culture. Most of these people unfortunately disappeared overnight from their positions without any word or have decided to leave but some still remain. There is usually an annual company trip, however this is generally held over your head for the next year as a reason to be worked to the bone.

Cons

Workloads are generally ridiculous across the board. I have seen people who really loved the company and held their values pushed to the limit stress and workload wise, constantly requesting extra support who have subsequently left and replaced with multiple members of staff on extra money. There is real limited room for growth. Senior hires will always be more attractive to this company. Promotions will also be given with delayed pay rises due to supposedly only doing pay increases in April... Pay is well under market rates, the only way you will secure a good salary is to negotiate on the way in, otherwise it is very hard once you are in. Toxic culture from the CEO is unfortunately very bad. This is fed down to Senior management, who have created an air of fear which wasn't apparent before. The CEO is quite happy to boast about firing people overnight, this has been a recurring issue of behaviour.

Pros

Tillo has been one of the most rewarding places I’ve worked. The company culture is genuinely supportive — you’re trusted to do your job and given the autonomy to grow. The people here are smart, kind, and passionate about what they do. They have great employee benefits including a recent trip to Sicily, extra holiday and private health insurance.

Cons

As a growing company, there are ever evolving changes but it's part of the ride!
