You’ve seen what the current team have to say about Atomic. Now take a look at the comments and reviews we’ve had on Glassdoor over the years.
Great place to work
Great career opportunities. The management put a lot of emphasis on training and my line manager has worked with me to put a personalised development plan in place so I have clear goals to work towards. We always use the latest technology and I'm always learning new things.
A breath of fresh air
Atomic is a really great place to work. The company works with some extremely high profile clients across multiple industries and offers its staff the chance to work on a wide range of exciting projects. Atomic looks after its staff well and is committed to every individual's ongoing personal development.
An agency with ambition
There was a very strong team ethic in place and the work environment was creative and fun. I was given support even after leaving the company to pursue my own ambitions and am always grateful for this.
To find out how happy our team feels about life at Atomic, we partner with Friday Pulse to gather their anonymous feedback, and we consistently outscore other UK tech businesses for team satisfaction.
We appreciate your interest in assisting us with our hiring needs, however we have invested in an internal sourcing function which works well and as a result, we very rarely need to reach out to agencies. We’re happy for you to introduce yourself to us via email at careers@atomicmedia.co.uk but respectfully ask that you do not call us.
Detailed below is what our hiring process typically looks like (it can vary dependent on the role you’re applying for).
