Pluspunten

I've loved every minute of working at Mumsnet! The recruitment process was good but, relatively vigorous. I had to do a competency-based piece of work, phone-interview, face-to-face interview and a culture-fit interview. Despite it being quite a vigorous process, it just made me aware of the fact Mumsnet were doing it for my own good because they want to ensure they are recruiting people who embody their values and who will fit in. The on-boarding process was stress free and quick, which meant I was able to start properly working within my first week. I've also never come across such a well organised and informative intranet which was super helpful during my first month of working at Mumsnet! The environment at Mumsnet is really friendly and sociable. There are monthly wine o'clocks and socials where you can meet new people which you wouldn't normally come across in your day-to-day job. I would highly recommend working at Mumsnet to anybody!

Minpunten

Mumsnet currently does offer flexible working, however, I think it could be made more flexible by introducing a flexible working policy whereby employees are able to work their hours surrounding core working hours that Mumsnet implement. At my previous employers, the key hours were between 10AM-4PM - everyone had to be in during these times - but you could work your hours around that e.g. my hours were 8 (incl. lunch), so I could come in at 8AM and leave at 4PM or come in at 10AM and leave at 6PM.

Pluspunten

Work life balance is great until its changed for no legitimate reason. Great to work for a company that has a real world impact on parents and specific womens issues. Some great people on all the different teams who are great at their jobs and provide great support.

Minpunten

Management offers lip service to feedback and company values while failing to act on either. A bereaved team member was told any leave beyond one week would come out of annual leave a stark example of the disconnect between Mumsnet's public image and internal reality for staff. Culture is cliquey and siloed, with playground dynamics between teams and bad behaviour routinely ignored when flagged. Confidence is actively knocked through micromanagement, diary monitoring, and a CRO who publicly calls out sales staff for childcare issues. No real progression, no meaningful training, and proactive ideas are stamped out. The bonus scheme is confusing, changes frequently, and sits well below industry standard. Mandatory socials and WFH register-taking add to the controlled atmosphere. The overall environment feels cult-like particularly around senior leadership.
