Pros

Working at Beyond for nearly seven years has been an absolutely incredible experience. Throughout my journey, the company has shown a genuine commitment to supporting my career progression. Starting as a Junior, I had the opportunity to grow and advance to Mid-level, Senior, and eventually a Lead position. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had three exceptional line managers during my time at Beyond. Each one created a safe and nurturing environment, boosting my confidence and genuinely caring about my well-being. They consistently championed my career development, and for that, I am truly grateful. Remarkably, promotions and appropriate compensation adjustments were often lead by my managers and there was rarely the need for me to initiate discussions. The projects I have been involved in have been consistently fascinating and fulfilling. It is evident that Beyond hires exceptionally talented individuals who contribute to the overall success of the company. I thoroughly enjoyed working with multi disciplinary teams and learnt a great deal in the process. Moreover, the company culture at Beyond sets a new standard. The people are not only friendly and supportive, but also inclusive of everyone. Beyond truly believes in allowing employees to bring their authentic selves to work, fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated. In addition to my role as a UX Designer, I had the opportunity to engage in various extracurricular activities. This included training as a Mental Health First Aider and actively participating in the Diversity and Inclusion Council. Beyond's commitment to empowering employees extends beyond their immediate job responsibilities. One aspect that stands out about Beyond is their belief in flexible working. I had the freedom to take longer lunch breaks for exercise and personal activities, as long as I met my deadlines. This level of trust in managing my own schedule greatly enhanced my work-life balance. Overall, Beyond has exceeded all my expectations as an employer. It has been an extraordinary journey filled with personal and professional growth, outstanding colleagues, and a remarkable company culture.

Pros

The location is rather accessible. Walk, bike, taxi, or public transportation it'll take you here. Great coffee and plenty of beer nearby to drown away the problems of working here.

Cons

Oh man were to start. If you've read any of the other reviews for this place you'll see how dreadfully awful it is to work here and the type of day in and day out nonsense you'll have to deal with. Huge egos that get in the way of progress and good products run rampant amongst leadership globally. There's a clear delineation between who's the workers and who the ones are that are taking credit for the work. Lot's of people in power here who have no respect for their team members, will lie to them and try to manipulate them behind their backs. If you're anything but a white male you'll be talked down to and belittled on the daily here. A lot of these issues are allowed to keep going on because you have an HR department that only perpetuates these issues and blocks anything from being done about these issues. It's a real shame because I've seen this company go from group of people that loved doing great work together into something entirely different. Please save yourself the stress and just don't work here.
