Life at PlotBox - we appreciate that we may not be the right workplace for everyone, so below we have laid out what life at Plotbox is really like so you can decide if a career at PlotBox is for you !

• We are a growing / scaling company - as such we don't always have everything neatly mapped out so you have to be comfortable with ambiguity sometimes
• A 40 hour working week and flexible working hours. We ask everyone to be in the office during our core hours from 10-4pm meaning you can balance your work hours around life’s commitments.
• Hybrid working - for most roles, our staff work 2 days per week in the office and we love the opportunity it gives us to collaborate face to face.
• We believe in continuous improvement - so that can mean change is a pretty constant thing for us - we need our people to embrace change as opposed to resisting it
• We believe feedback is crucial to development so we will create a safe environment where you can take onboard feedback and use it to improve - but we can't force you to take the feedback on board; that's your choice

• Active social and charity committee - lots of social events throughout the year including a summer social, Christmas party, Easter events, quizzes, book club, walking groups, coffee mornings and many many more.
• We offer Cycle to work scheme and discounted gym membership if that’s your thing!
