Notley Employee Reviews

Absolutely!

very diverse and welcoming!

our HR does a great job with this, from onboarding to regular group discussions in more informal settings as well as team events

There is a diverse team but upper level management is primarily friends of the Founders.

We have an incredibly diverse team and everyone is so friendly and kind. I had no trouble making friends as a new hire and now that I'm one of the "veterans" (around 2 years in) I try to connect with new hires and make sure they feel welcomed. The HR lead is also really mindful of making the company inclusive from the first thing a candidate sees all the way through regular events and casual chats about various topics.

We have a really positive and hardworking team. I do feel that there is an effort to increase diversity and strengthen our internal community.

For sure, but I do think our strong emphasis on sustainability and the pressures that puts upon everyone to bring in money often seems to come first and impact second. Ideally we want to do both at the same time, but I think figuring out what has the most impact and building from there should be our first priority

Everything focuses on social impact

100% This is what I love the most about Notley. Even when our obvious purpose *is* making money, like through the various investment arms, we always reinvest that money in social impact through supporting existing non-profits or empowering employees to create their own. We are unleashing relentless changemakers :)

Notley is very impact-driven and we celebrate those impact wins often.

I just started, but I feel like there is room to grow in my role based on conversations with my team and manager

I have been given additional responsibilities and the opportunity to grow my skill sets.

Lots of autonomy, constant learning, areas to expand

Opportunities for growth require self-advocacy and initiative on the part of the employee.

I was promoted in my first year at Notley and have several other colleagues who have been given opportunities to stretch, with support, and receive promotions as well.

There are opportunities to specialize and create a job that works for your interests and expertise. I think the company could do better at communicating the potential growth trajectory of each position and then officially documenting when things do change.

Yes, but I am also so busy that I find it hard to take time off.

unlimited PTO. Huge

Notley's flexible vacation policy means you get to take the time you need.

Unlimited PTO and encouragement from upper management to use it.

We are encouraged to work in the office, but it is never a problem to take off whether it's for a full vacation or just a few hours or half day to deal with personal things like a doctor's appointment or kid stuff.

Great PTO policy

I feel very comfortable taking PTO when needed since the policy is unlimited. However, there is an inflexible policy around being in the office when you are not taking PTO. A more hybrid model would better compare to similar companies and our post-pandemic world.

If I ask for it I do. I think people are so busy that it is not a priority to manage employees in this way. Hoping the new annual review process will provide an opportunity for this as the 360 review wasn't as effective as a managerial review on specific duties.

Love the people I work with. Very collaborative

we don't have formal performance reviews and managers often struggle to provide examples when offering feedback. we have 1:1s where they're supposed to also be providing feedback but that seems lacking as well, could be improved through more effort on the part of the managers.

Managers do share their feedback well.

Our HR team does a great job making sure we have regular performance reviews and receive feedback from our manager as well as people we work with as colleagues, which I've found to be the most useful feedback and haven't received at other companies I've worked for.
