With a vision "to make the world a better place through technology," IT consultancy Daemon is creating a workplace where "diverse, talented people with personality thrive."
More than 100 strong, its team supports retail, finance, government and media sectors with digital transformation, including big names like Sainsbury's, John Lewis, ASOS and WH Smith.
Its remote-first approach gives its team flexibility, but it's maintained its London hub, reinventing it to ensure a friendly and collaborative space for those who prefer to spend time with other 'Daemonites.' And there are plans for regional hubs to ensure those outside London can easily meet up too.
There are always opportunities to share work experiences and meet socially with Founders Updates, Town Halls, Lunch and Learns and various working groups such as for wellbeing and charity. And there are the bi-annual Daemon days "where everyone leaves with a sense of clarity, camaraderie and, in some cases, a social hangover!"
Community days are an opportunity to share learnings and stay on top of industry trends in the ever-changing tech world. And there are plenty of social activities, from bouldering to watching cricket.
And Daemon is making an effort to diversify its workforce. It's partnered with a 'return to tech' organisation, putting people who've taken a career break – most commonly women – through a 12-week training programme. It hires the strongest candidates, with the others getting a much-needed CV boost. Through Codebar, the consultancy also offers entry-level tech enthusiasts mentoring in preparation to enter the sector.
