Panel Discussion: Team Engagement, Onboarding, and Opportunity in Remote Work

We spoke about our pains, solutions, and successes with remote work, and shared how teams around the country - and around the world - were making remote work work.

Summary

We make simple solutions to big business problems.

Equal Experts is an award-winning agile consultancy, with offices in the UK, US, Portugal, India and Canada. We are currently expanding into South Africa.

We aspire to be ‘a company of grown-ups’ – somewhere that experienced, talented people can truly be themselves, and collaborate with like-minded colleagues to create innovative, simple solutions to challenging business problems.

Since making things simple is not easy, we only recruit experts – people that can demonstrate true excellence in their field. Then we trust them to do what they do best.

Why Work For Us?

Equal Experts aims to be a special place to work – somewhere that is genuinely a community, not simply a company.

Our purpose is to enable talented grown-ups to truly be themselves as they collaborate on the most interesting, challenging work of their careers.

A flat structure that emphasises values, respect, ownership and collaboration

Good software engineering practices and processes are a habit for us

Our remote-first model allows staff to work on projects around the world from almost everywhere in the country

A worldwide view gives us customers of all shapes-and-sizes across tech stacks and business sectors. This makes for a diverse and interesting work-life.

A different engagement model. We do not do “bums on a seat” - we deliver outcomes with customers out of empowered engineering teams with day-to-day engagement support from Equal Experts Engagement Managers and Delivery Leads.

Work-life balance and sustainable work overtime are important to us. They are key to staff health and delivering ongoing customer value.

Be part of a world-wide network of top-class IT people who have diverse and expert experience across tech stacks and industries. Once part of the network, you will have visibility of Equal Expert opportunities, whether active on an engagement or not.

In addition to training and conferences, employee access to the wider network provide many opportunities to hone and acquire skills.

Competitive salary and benefits package - we don't want money to be a talking point.

Depending on yearly company performance, a profit share allocation can be made to employees.

Your choice of machine for employees to work on - great people don’t work on substandard kit

A variety of contracting models allows you to structure your affairs as you prefer.

Five-star working conditions

We’re proud to have our working culture voted as one of the best in the UK in the 2017 'Glassdoor Top 20’ (but we're focused on creating a great culture wherever we work!).

The high levels of experience we look for means we can remove a lot of the layers and processes that can frustrate progress (and developers) in more traditional organisations. We trust our people to decide what will deliver the best results for our clients – and how to make it happen. Time after time, they’ve shown that great work comes from being allowed to get on with it.

This approach has helped us to be recognised as a particularly flexible, satisfying place to work; Glassdoor rates us as one of the UK’s best employers for work-life balance.

Work with the best, for the best

Our work is varied and covers the entire spectrum of modern IT – everything from digital transformation programmes for major government departments, to award-winning mobile apps for renowned brands like O2. The common thread is a need for faster, more flexible software development, and solutions that bring real benefits to our clients’ businesses.

You’ll be well looked after

Our business model relies on us working with the best quality people, and we offer remuneration in keeping with their expectations.
