Random42 London, United Kingdom Science Hybrid

Company Description

A little bit about our culture

From very early in their Random42 career, we encourage people to have autonomy and urge them to present their own fresh ideas. We ensure we provide a supportive environment while also giving our people the room they need to succeed in their role on their own. This contributes to an engaged workforce, who are aspiring to take the next step in their career with Random42. We actively encourage internal promotion and don't put time-limits on when this can be achieved.

Progression of our people is based on observing their progress in terms of performance, and equipping them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to take the next step.

The most common feedback from both new starters and exit interviews is how friendly, welcoming and supportive our team is. People treat each other with respect, real friendships and positive working relationships are formed, and our team enjoy spending time together at company social events.

We want our team to feel comfortable at work so that they can be as happy and productive as possible. We have a relaxed dress code.

We encourage employees to be their authentic selves and bring their personality with them to work. This contributes to the happy environment we are so proud of. Our central offices have been designed to incorporate dedicated high spec social areas including open plan kitchen, dining area and a roof terrace to encourage colleagues to relax together and engage with each other.

We understand the importance flexible working can play in retaining people and making them feel supported. We have implemented a hybrid working policy to promote a better work-life balance for our team. We also consider any formal or informal individual flexible working requests thoroughly and fairly and do what we can to support these where possible.
