Overall, a toxic and manipulative workplace. Avoid. - Anonymous employee Shellworks Employee Review

The mission is integral to working at Shellworks. Their values are present in decisions made at every level throughout the business, from accepting investment and sourcing materials, all the way to office management practices and bathroom supplies! Sustainability is at the core of what we do. Delicious catered lunch is provided everyday from restaurants around London! Eating lunch together every day on a long family-style table means that you get a real chance to get to know to everyone on the team. I think it's a key contributor to the close working relationship that we all have. The team is full of diverse but like-minded individuals who keep the office light-hearted and fun, but also are incredibly driven and passionate. Working from home is allowed, however, the bulk of the team comes in 4/5 days a week as the office is a collaborative & dynamic workspace. The workplace is fast moving and demanding, but it keeps the role interesting. I have had the opportunity to work on a lot of different projects and new ones arise every quarter. You are pushed as an individual, and within a short period you can quickly become a project lead, gaining valuable experience.

The interview process is long and difficult, however the resulting team demonstrates that the hiring process works effectively. I would say Shellworks is not a fit for someone who just wants to do their hours and go home, you are expected to muck in when required, which can result in long days!

A young team where everyone is on board with the same mission and dedication to the space. People are very easy to get along with. Best office perk is the free lunches, which are often very nutritious and healthy, and the team always eats lunches together which is great for bonding. Managers are fair, and give good feedback where it counts. Company has a strong growth trajectory and good vision for the future.

Occasionally lacks the proper infrastructure to promote work efficiency. Could also incorporate better learning opportunities. A lot of the times we're needing to DIY things or sprint to get it done, as is such in a startup. If you're not passionate about the mission, it might not be a great fit, as you really need to give it your all during tough times.
