Why BrightLocal are good to work for

“We are a big believer in supporting the communities we work in, and play an active role in supporting local and national charities. As well as donating money we empower team members to be personally involved by giving everyone 6 days per year to physically help a charity or community organisation with their important work.

We are a very informal and casual company. We want every team member to feel completely ‘at home’ working here and be able to do great work in a comfortable and vibrant environment. We have created offices that enable focused, ‘head-down’ work but also have fun, collaborative working spaces that foster new ideas.

We have a fully-stocked drinks fridge and our kitchen cupboards overflow with snacks – of both the healthy and (very) unhealthy kind.

We love to celebrate all team members’ birthdays, and double down on cakes, drinks and cards (as long as that’s what they want!). We also make a big deal of important work anniversaries with presents, gift cards and lots of hi-fives.”
