cxpartners is an (even better!) ‘Great Place to Work’

We are absolutely thrilled to report we have been recertified as as a Great Place to Work® for 2023, with a 95% overall Trust Index© from our wonderful colleagues.

Last year, cxpartners was officially recognised as a ‘Great Place to Work®’. We were awarded the sought-after certification and received a 90% overall Trust Index© from our team. But, we like to be a bit competitive with ourselves and always want to improve…so in 2023 we were determined to do even better. Was it possible?

Of course! This year we are absolutely thrilled to report a 95% overall Trust Index© from our wonderful colleagues, which is well above the UK average.

And it doesn’t just stop with cxpartners. Sopra Steria, our parent company, has also been recertified as a Great Place to Work® for 2023. The company as a whole has been ranked 20th in the ‘super large organisations’ category of the Best Workplaces™ 2022, alongside SSCL, another Sopra Steria company, which ranked 19th in the same category.

But what do the team actually say about working at cxpartners?

The stats speak for themselves, but we also wanted to share, in their own words, what our team thinks about working at cxpartners.

I’ve worked both in-house and on the agency side before joining cxpartners. But from the moment you join cxpartners you know you will be valued here and your ideas will be listened to. Everyone in this company (and I mean everyone) is super smart, friendly and simply good, enthusiastic people with lots of empathy.

Julia Putnina Senior UX Consultant

It’s easy for a company to say that they care about the development and improvement of their staff whilst providing an enjoyable work environment. It’s another thing to actively strive to achieve this. I’ve never had the pleasure of working for a business that truly empowers the way that cxpartners do. I feel very fortunate and proud to work for such a great company.

Adam Newson New Business Executive

Whether times are good, or times are tough, cxpartners is always a positive, empathetic and genuine place to work. From my experience, this is really rare. So, now I’m in an environment like this, I never want to go back to working in any other way; or anywhere else!

Alix Vaughan Sales Director

Everyone at cxpartners is willing to share and help with anything. There are lots of resources to expand your knowledge and skills, but most importantly, THE PEOPLE make this place so magical. You will never feel the difference between a junior and a senior person. You will feel heard, and your opinion matters at cxpartners! Finding a good organisation that allows you to feel safe and supported nowadays is challenging. cxpartners does a great job on that. I wanted to feel secure and grow in a healthy environment. I would recommend cxpartners to anyone looking for diversity in terms of people and skills, who likes learning new things all the time, has big career goals and most importantly, wants to feel authentic and heard at work.

There’s a unique colleague culture at cxpartners. Everyone is so knowledgeable and experienced, yet there aren’t any big dominating egos. People here are brilliant at working through problems by collaborating, listening to one another and to the people that matter the most; end users. The company listens to its employees and is transparent about big decisions as and when they come. People are encouraged to learn and grow from other people around them or through more formal training. Plus you’ll get to work on a wide variety of design problems for the most interesting organisations in the world.

Ollie Miller Creative Director

When we describe ourselves here at cxpartners as People-Centred, we mean it. The ‘human beans’ here and those that we work with are the heart of everything we do. I’ve been here 6 years; I’ve been inspired every day, and supported every step of the way. We are always encouraged to speak up and get stuck in.

Amy Bracewell Delivery Lead

Working at cxpartners is GREAT! A lot of time and energy has gone into creating an environment to do your best and you get to work with like minded colleagues that all have a passion for what they do!

Sam Stevens Principal UX Consultant

cxpartners are committed to a people-first approach, and I think this comes across not just through the work we do, but through our values as a company. Personal and professional development are so important here! There’s a lot of opportunity to take on new challenges, grow and develop in your career – and also a really flexible, remote working environment, excellent benefits (including a fantastic hobby fund – I’m using mine this year for snowboarding gear!) and a real desire to help you learn. Everyone at cxpartners is friendly, enthusiastic and willing to learn and share their knowledge and experiences. Whether you’re new to UX like me, or you’ve been working in the field for a while, there’s so much to learn here – and a really strong focus on designing solutions that are accessible, inclusive and sustainable, which is really important to me.
