      Pros

      The young, hard working talents of the design teams. All of whom are wasted at bb. The late nights, weekends and cancelled last minute holidays they’ve had to endure as a result of bad planning and panic induced flapping from the leadership team should be applauded A wonderful studio space, with lovely 360 degree views of London. Bricks, sleek steel interiors and a Sonos unfortunately can’t cover the obvious lack of natural culture or studio buzz.

      Cons

      It’s only right to point out this fact from the out set: half, if not most of the positive reviews on Glassdoor for bb have been desperately asked for by senior management. I’ve witnessed recruiting staff begging members of various teams to write positive reviews in the hope of attracting more talent. I was asked to do the same. This is manipulation of people and their right to review bb in their own words. Chaotic calamities would be a more apt name for the company. The irony of the name ‘Brilliant Basics’ beggars belief. The basics are certainly not being achieved and brilliant?...well, absolutely not. There is an over obsession with speed. The word speed is confused with the word rushed. Everything is rushed from the organisation of projects to the running of general studio life. The result is sloppy thinking and sloppy design execution. This impacts the talented design team who deserve better support. BB has a production line design philosophy and it’s obvious from most of the output. People are feeling incredibly down from not having a sense of ownership or a freedom to create and feeling unbelievably anxious, as though they dare not put a foot wrong other wise it’s either a public passive aggressive slack message or the silent treatment. No organisation and ZERO process means a constant stream of panic flowing through the entire company. Every project lacks a brief, an SOW or any real insight to produce work of the quality expected from their clients and industry peers. There’s no diversity or female leadership at the very top and this needs to change ASAP. If you’re a yes woman / man, you go straight to the top. There’s no room to challenge the status quo at bb.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed working with the Design team and working in the London studio space. We are sorry to hear about some of the more negative aspects of your experience and would like to address these. We encourage all employees to share their opinions/experiences of Brilliant Basics on Glassdoor if they wish to do so. We take positive and constructive feedback on board and employees share their opinions if they choose to do so and they voice their own opinions. We are in a fast-paced industry and our clients are constantly looking for innovative solutions that we try to provide at speed. However, we would never expect employees to compromise quality as a result. We realise that the design industry has few women in leadership positions but we are taking many actions to address gender imbalance at bb. We have recently made female appointments in leadership positions and we partner with organisations such as She Says and Ladies that UX to address this. We value each individual and the contribution they make to our business. We are working on a review process to enable employees to set objectives with their managers, enabling development and career progression. bb is going through a period of rapid growth – with this comes many challenges but also many opportunities for improvement and a lot of excitement. If you would like to discuss your feedback, feel free to get in touch: peopleandculture@brilliantbasics.com

      Company founded on sound principles

      Pros

      The value system of the company is noteworthy. The company has managed to keep this alive over time and across its new hires. This is most visible in challenging times or when dealing with difficult situations. This is a company to build long-term careers or join early in your career to have an exposure to professional workplace practices.

      Cons

      The company can be slow to respond to market dynamics or to employee dynamics, but the response will be well thought-out.

      Pros

      Easy and fast hiring. They'll fly you out and house you wherever they're doing training at the time. They'll be paying you while also giving you a stipend. This is great as a right-out-of college job. They offer paid learning time while not on an assignment. If you've got good individual drive, you can get paid to learn a new skill that will make you marketable.

      Cons

      Opaquely bureaucratic as heck. Out of our hiring group, half of us got assignments within a month, the other half waited about half a year before they got any work. At the same time, half of us on-project didn't get a promised minor pay-raise and promotion until 4 months after it was promised, while about half of the folks on bench got it. No matter what subject you interview with, they'll choose your job position for you. I interviewed with SQL knowledge and got thrown into web automation testing training based entirely on the hire date I chose. Nepotism runs rampant. Many of the managers you work for and people you work with have no clue what they're doing. It's entirely hit or miss as to whether your manager cares and knows what they're doing or if they're petty, demanding, and micromanaging. There's this clash between a stated goal of hard work and continual learning and the reality of apathy in many places. Overall, the place is soul-draining. If you've got a good work ethic, pass this company up if you can. You'll find better work and pay elsewhere
