What it’s like to work at Byway

Our benefits

🏢 Hybrid remote
While we are remote first, we get together for two days a month in London for focused team collaboration and strategic sessions to stay connected and aligned on our goals.

🏢 Optional co-working
Work from our private office in London in a sustainability-minded co-working hub. Those not near London can opt-in for a one-day-a-week co-working office credit.

⏰ Flexible hours, fewer meetings
Enjoy flexible working hours for those not working shifts. We also have four-hour meeting-free blocks between 9-5, and meeting-free Thursdays for heads-down focus time.

📊 Weekly capacity surveys
We prioritise your well-being with weekly capacity surveys and leadership follow-ups, ensuring everyone maintains a healthy work-life balance.

🌱 Climate perks
Help us save carbon by receiving holiday time back in lieu for any time spent travelling overland and sea that took longer than it would have to fly there.

🗺️ Enhanced benefits
Receive double statutory sick pay, 33 flexi-holidays, generous parental leave, and access to our wellness hub with valuable learning resources.

🌳 Annual away weekend
Join us for our optional away weekend. In the past, this has looked like taking over a hostel, cooking together, going on hikes, DJ lessons, pancakes, running club, painting and games.

🌴 Byway holidays
Explore incredible destinations with one reduced-price Byway flight-free holiday for you and your immediate family, mates rates and enhanced referrals.

Beware of recruiting scams

We have had multiple reports of a recruiting scam that is currently using our logo, images and name. We have requested a takedown of these sites - but wanted to raise some awareness and give some tips on staying safe online and avoiding scams. This page and our Linkedin is where you can find our official job listings. We never recruit over WhatsApp/Telegram, never use crypto and never ask you to download apps to communicate with us. We also do not have an office in Canada. Please read more here on how to look out for scams and what to do if you think you’ve been a victim.
