We Work Best As A Team
One of our core values is that We Work Best as a Team.
We divide our consultancy organisation into delivery teams. Each team has their own standups, and retrospectives, and you’ll have a 1:1 relationship with one of the senior consultants in your team. Our teams are designed to ensure that our consultants have the support they need to be successful on their projects, and build meaningful connections in our remote business. There’s also plenty of opportunity to get to know the rest of The Scale Factory.
Each team may have members split across different projects. Most projects have two or three people working on them at a time, and we value collaborative working models such as pairing. On occasion you may find yourself working solo with a particular client for a short time, but you’ll always be able to reach out to other members of the team for advice and support.
We’re Always Learning
You won’t be expert at everything when you start at The Scale Factory, and that’s OK. As a consultancy, we recognise we are only as good as our people so you’ll have ample time to develop your skills, both technical and non-technical.
Your future consultancy colleagues have used this development time to study for and take AWS, Kubernetes, and Hashicorp certifications. Got all your certifications? You can also just use the time to read a book on a technology you are interested in, or attend a conference. This isn’t just for the consultancy team: everyone at The Scale Factory has access to learning opportunities to suit them.
We don’t have a fixed per-person training budget: no reasonable request for training, learning materials, or conference attendance is refused, so long as you’re happy to spend your Development Days budget on that activity.
Socials and Co-Working
We run an all-hands gathering every six months focused on continuous improvement. This is run in person, but remote attendance is also possible. As part of Ten10, we also participate in wider group level events, such as the ‘OneTen10’ kick-off event which gets bigger and better every year
We run optional monthly co-working days. In the UK, these alternate between London and Leeds. These are an opportunity to work together in person, and usually includes some low key socialising too.
We make opportunities for togetherness throughout the week too - we run a Zoom “Happy Hour” every Friday afternoon, as well as regular team catch ups. We also use a Slack app called Donut to randomly pair people who’ve opted in for a casual chat every couple of weeks, which is a great way to get to know new colleagues.
All of our social plans are optional, we’ll never force you into coming, but we do try to make plans that are as inclusive as possible. We’re much more likely to end up chatting in a board game café, playing mini-golf, or just sharing a meal, than putting drinks away in a noisy bar.
Benefits
As part of Ten10, we get a wide array of employee benefits, for a full breakdown see the Ten10 careers page.
