Life at PlotBox - we appreciate that we may not be the right workplace for everyone, so below we have laid out what life at Plotbox is really like so you can decide if a career at PlotBox is for you !

• We are a growing / scaling company - as such we don't always have everything neatly mapped out so you have to be comfortable with ambiguity sometimes
• A 40 hour working week and flexible working hours. We ask everyone to be in the office during our core hours from 10-4pm meaning you can balance your work hours around life’s commitments.
• Hybrid working - for most roles, our staff work 2 days per week in the office and we love the opportunity it gives us to collaborate face to face.
• We believe in continuous improvement - so that can mean change is a pretty constant thing for us - we need our people to embrace change as opposed to resisting it
