Fantastic - Friendly & Approachable - Senior Sales Manager Evolution Europe Employee Review

I’d been in the security industry for 8 years before I came to Evolution and I was starting to think security wasn’t for me. 5 years later I’ve realised it wasn’t the industry that was putting me off, but the company I was working for. At that company I was just a number on a chart, a cog in a machine. Here at Evolution however, I’ve learnt the meaning of job satisfaction and how it feels to be appreciated for what you do. There’s a fantastic culture at Evolution, where everyone is willing to chip in and help complete a task, as at the end of the day we all want what’s best for each other and the business. There’s plenty of room for progression here too and you can see that in our Senior Leadership team, some of which have worked themselves up from an Engineer or Project Manager, to Group Directors. When I first joined I was very used to working in the “blame” culture of my previous company but quickly learned how different it was at Evolution. There’s a deep rooted culture of support where people are encouraged to learn from mistakes without being penalised for them. Overall it’s a brilliant place to work that supports all its staff with a fantastic working environment.

The only real con would be the size of the car park at the Marlow head office, as it can fill up quickly when events are on. But that’s still only a few times a year and we’re encouraged to use the local car parks and claim expenses if needed.

Evolution invests in its people, and it shows, from approachable leadership to ongoing conversations about how we can work smarter and support one another. The people here are incredible. Collaborative, motivated, and always ready to help each other succeed and lift each other up. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and progress within the business. You can see this in our current leadership team, many of whom started their careers here as Project Managers or Engineers and have grown through hard work and development opportunities. No company is perfect, but what stands out here is the willingness to listen and evolve. It’s a place where you can do meaningful work and feel valued while doing it.

The company is growing quickly, so some processes are still taking shape, but there’s always strong support from peers.
