Mission-driven company to work for

Pros

• Mission-driven organisation – the work directly contributes to empowering women and non-binary people in tech, which feels purposeful and rewarding. • Collaborative team culture – colleagues are approachable, supportive, and genuinely care about each other’s success. • Strong community focus – you see the impact of your work reflected in the learners and partners we support. • Flexibility – very supportive of remote working and flexible hours where possible. • Opportunities to grow – exposure to a range of projects, partners, and platforms means you can develop both technical and soft skills. • Values-led – transparency, kindness, and teamwork are baked into the culture.

Cons

• Fast-paced with shifting priorities – can sometimes feel reactive rather than strategic, requiring adaptability. • Limited formal training/mentorship – learning is often on the job; structured support could be stronger. • Resourcing challenges – as a growing organisation, there are times when capacity is stretched and workload feels heavy. • Tech processes still maturing – documentation, repos, and workflows could be more standardised to reduce dependency on hand-holding.

Pros

Working at CFG is great! Despite my job being remote, I still feel fully included and part of the CFG team. Everybody who works at CFG are so incredibly friendly, helpful and supportive. The management team are always open to feedback from employees and constantly then acting on it to improve the company, it's perks, and how it can help you develop your career. I also love what CFG stands for and the difference it is making to so many people, especially women!

Cons

Being remote, it took time for me to adjust to having so many virtual calls than in office meetings. However, having regular company team days really helps to develop our working relationships/ friendships.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. It's really great to hear that the company days and virtual calls help you feel connected as a remote employee.
