WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK AT MAGENTA?
We pride ourselves on being a collaborative environment that is inspiring, supportive, flexible and fun. There is no strict hierarchy, everyone’s experiences and opinions matter. If you have a particular interest, bring it to work.
Flexibility and achieving a work life balance means different things to different people. Some welcome the ability to exercise, do the school run or attend appointments during the day and will catch up on work early or later when their brain is more engaged; others like to be able to switch off when they finish work and not need to constantly be checking emails. With Magenta, it can be what you need it to be.
-
Everyone has different backgrounds, different experiences and a different perspective on the world. We embrace all of these, encourage everyone to be themselves in work bring those differences to enrich our work.
-
We work from home in locations across the UK, but, regularly meet face-to-face for working and socialising as a team. This might include:
• Project analysis sessions: a day locked away deep diving into the findings to extrapolate the insight and craft the story.
• Quarterly team away days: a chance to spend time together outside of projects.
• Client Appreciation Day: an annual occasion to celebrate our achievements for the year and thank our clients for working with Magenta.
• If you live near someone and want to get together to work for a bit, share a coffee or talk through a project.
Regardless of where we’re working, we’re in constant communication and ensure we connect regularly as a team. We have morning catch ups where we talk about work and non-work, to ensure everyone has the support they need.
-
We believe people do their best work when they’re doing something they love. If you’ve got a particular interest or a client you’d love to work with, we’ll support you every step of the way.
THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THE TEAM HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WORKING AT MAGENTA:
EVE, RESEARCH DIRECTOR
‘If you have the choice, why wouldn’t you do a job you love, at a company that supports you, surrounded by people you enjoy spending time with? The projects are varied, and when everyone throws themselves in with such enthusiasm you can’t not have fun. It also has the side-effect of making our clients happy, and I love knowing the results we deliver actually make a difference for the brands we work with. There’s a wonderful sense of trust across the team and we can enjoy both the opportunities to get our heads together and the flexibility of autonomous working. I feel invested in at Magenta, with a personal training budget to use on courses or other resources – I can continue to grow my passion for research.’
ROB, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
‘Since week one working at Magenta I felt like I was part of the team. Everyone was very welcoming, supportive and understanding. Magenta gives me a great sense of belonging, which is extremely important especially when working remotely. I always feel appreciated for everything I do for the company and I finally feel like I can have a healthy life outside of work. Whatever the need is; whether it’s a vet or hairdresser appointment or working in Poland whilst visiting family, we always find ways to make it work without feeling guilty for living our lives.’
NAS, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
‘Magenta is a place that not only allows you to be your true self at work but encourages it. It’s such a supportive and positive environment, where everyone is championed for their achievements both inside and outside of work. It’s amazing to have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, be part of a small team of hard-working researchers and, most importantly, have lots of fun along the way. Magenta’s flat structure means that everyone can have a say in all aspects of the business and if there’s something that might interest you, you’re encouraged to explore it further. I also really love that we’re encouraged to work in a way that suits us best and work-life balance is something that’s taken seriously – it’s not just a term that’s thrown about but is actively encouraged.’
KRUTIKA, RESEARCH EXECUTIVE
‘As a new member of the team, I’d say from the start you feel right at home at Magenta. The team does everything to make you feel supported both personally and professionally. Working at Magenta means you have the freedom of a remote job but also the sociability of an office job. It is a privilege to learn from intelligent colleagues at the start of my career and be trusted to support the projects. Magenta has made me appreciate the field of market research and has made me feel like a valued member of the team.’
