Gimo Work-life balance reviews

I think it's a great company to start working in London. There are people from all over the world and it's a fantastic thing as you can learn about different languages and cultures. Wages are not amazing but... fine. The best thing? People who work there.

Pros

beer friday, pizza friday, nice people

Cons

wages, no windows downstairs

Closest thing to a sweatshop I've worked in, all rammed together like battery-farm chickens supporting websites that encourage people to gamble.

PHP developer working backend (Former Employee) - Southwark, UK - 17 February 2022

Everyone starts at the same time and must clock in. Everyone takes a break at the same time because that's the rule. There's nowhere to go so we sprawl along the street, each in our own clique according to nationality. The work is tedious and low paid. Almost everyone there is from another country, probably recent immigrants to the UK who are unaware that they're being underpaid.

Pros

Free pizza once a month. Free drink dispenser.

Cons

Long hours, tedious work, Owners too cheap to provide a decent development space so we were working on a LIVE site, Tech Lead was unhelpful and abrasive, Accessible toilet was up a flight of stairs (WTF?)

Experience, Experience ,Experience... when you start your "work life" well, you don't have much of it but then many recruiters actually blame you for not having a good experience... Luckily Gimo is dfferent and not only they gave me my first experience, they also enabled me to grow and learn new things. I could for example had free trainings to HTML and CSS which as a Marketing Executive is essential now.. so i am quite greatful too

Pros

free taining courses, fun group activies, drinks, pizza, great people
