Words from our team
I think Akkar care about their staff, beyond work activities. Akkar is a business that is always willing to consider how to positively benefit their employees.
I really love the culture at Akkar, everyone gets along and has a great attitude.
Good atmosphere and culture, good incentives and benefits such as early finishes in the summer, and Deliveroo allowance on Fridays. Compassionate and fair management with culture being set from the managers.
Teamwork, collaboration, great office, good energy levels.”
The team environment and culture at Akkar is great and leadership genuinely want to see people grow and develop. In other companies I don't think you would have the chance to have such an impact as you do here.
The people and culture are great.
The company is very collaborative, and it feels like we're all working towards a shared goal rather than competing against each other. Leadership are genuine, not arrogant.
Great working environment and comradery
The people are very welcoming and surprisingly a very close knit circle and everyone knows each other and all get along. It's a very rare environment to be in.
Everyone is celebrated for being different, we don't encourage everyone to be the same. People do feel at the heart of what we're doing here.
They have a lot of company benefits and incentives that make you want to work harder.
The team culture here feels unique and there is a sense of camaraderie that brings everyone together. It feels like people genuinely care about each other. Our team socials throughout the year play a key part in this and I think it goes to show the difference it makes when a company invests in team bonding experiences, meals and events.
Everyone has a voice, CEO's / Execs really clear on strategy and how we can get the best out of people to achieve this.
A huge amount of investment in training and development. CEO is always available to listen and take onboard feedback.
Great culture and atmosphere.
Highly progressive attitudes to business and operational matters, highly creative environment with an executive team that is very open to innovating and exploring new solutions and ways of working
High rollers trips, exciting incentives, unique nice office set up for fun, health and work engagement.
