How the training service works
We’re believers in a “learning by doing” approach and so in each of our engagements, we work alongside our customers’ team members imparting knowledge as we go.

Service scope

Service constraints
The Scale Factory is a remote-first organisation. We deliver all services remotely as standard, collaborating using tools like Slack, Zoom, and Miro. We’re happy to attend in person for project kickoffs, design workshops, and other activities where high bandwidth collaboration or team bonding is important. Day to day delivery or engineering work will usually not be delivered on your premises.

  • Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

We’ve built a comprehensive career ladder for our employees, making it very clear what expectations we have at each level of employment. Our salary model is tied directly to that career ladder, to promote fairness of remuneration across the company: people doing equivalent work are compensated at the same level. When internal promotions are available, we run an application process. Training opportunities are made available equitably.

We’ve worked to eliminate gender coded language from our job ads, and where possible we try to ensure our hiring panels include individuals from underrepresented groups, particularly where the candidate themselves is from such a group.

Wellbeing

Scale Factory staff have access to a group Vitality health insurance plan promoting physical health and fitness, as well as an Employee Assistance Plan offering counselling and other mental health support.

Every employee has a regular one-to-one relationship with a line manager who’s looking out for their wellbeing, and we’ve trained a number of people as Mental Health First Aiders to respond to any mental health challenges.

Although our workforce works primarily from their own homes, we provide each employee with a fund to cover the costs of devices and furniture to set up an ergonomic workstation.
