Matthew has been with Equal Experts for a little over two years, working as a software engineer and front-end developer.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tmNrlu6sdk0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering taking the next step in your career as a front-end developer, we\u2019d love to hear from you at Equal Experts. We\u2019re always looking for great developers to join our unique network, which is focused on constant learning and improvement, responsible innovation and genuine collaboration.<\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s what Matthew says about his working day:<\/h2>\n<p>Matthew works in a team for a large retailer, where Equal Experts engineers and consultants work alongside the retailer\u2019s delivery lead and product manager. At the start of the day, Matthew checks that the systems are running as they should and responds to queries and requests from colleagues on Slack.<\/p>\n<h2>Remote working that feels connected<\/h2>\n<p>For the past two years, Matthew has worked remotely, which allows him to be at home for his wife and kids. But this doesn\u2019t mean he feels isolated. \u201cWe have people managers to make sure we\u2019re happy and catered for and all our needs are met, which is fantastic. But you\u2019re rated on how much value you deliver, not how often you check into a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each day Matthew works through ticket requests from the client, which might mean working on a new feature, testing code, or solving an issue that\u2019s arisen. \u201cI like that the culture of Equal Experts means that if I see an opportunity to add value to the client or the team, I can start a conversation and request a meeting,\u201d says Matthew.<\/p>\n<p>The culture at Equal Experts is highly supportive and allows Matthew to work on different tasks depending on what is most useful on the day. \u201cIf I feel like I\u2019ve had too much front-end, or I want to do some DevOps, or I want to read some blogs to learn, then it allows you to do that,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not about how many tickets you finish or how many hours you put in, it\u2019s about the value you add to the client, which is great.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A culture of grown ups and learning<\/h2>\n<p>Equal Experts prides itself on building a company of grown-ups, and so most days Matthew finishes work feeling fulfilled. \u201cI always learn a lot at work. Equal Experts is filled to the brim with these exceptionally smart individuals, and you get better working with these folks who are a joy to be around,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>After two years, Matthew says he gives Equal Experts \u2018double thumbs up\u2019 and recommends the company to his former colleagues at every opportunity. \u201cIf you come here for a month, you\u2019ll understand the hype, because it\u2019s all true. I love it here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See more about Matthews\u2019 Equal Experts experience in the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tmNrlu6sdk0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video<\/a>.
