Pros

I have worked in large blue chip organisations and start up environments for 20 years. I can honestly say that what we are building at Aira is special and purposeful. It's such a great place to work and develop with caring leaders. We are super focused on our people and creating the most efficient heat pump business to serve millions of customers in the UK and across Europe. I strongly recommend you to join Aira or speak to someone and find out more about the opportunities that are available here.

Cons

As we are a start up and are scaling at pace. We are still creating new processes to support our growth plans which comes with challenges. But these challenges are also fun to overcome and it's rare to be able to work in this environment where you can really make a difference.

Pros

Hybrid working structure and the regional team before redundancies were made.

Cons

The business is severely undermined by poor management and questionable leadership decisions, with individuals being promoted into roles they are clearly not equipped to handle. There is a significant lack of communication between the north and south operations, creating confusion and inefficiency across the company. I was left with minimal support while expected to manage an entire region, taking on responsibilities equivalent to a senior leadership role without any recognition or appropriate remuneration. The culture appears to favour an “inner circle,” with progression often influenced by personal relationships rather than merit, which is both demoralising and unprofessional. Combined with substantial company debt and redundancy decisions that seemed to target the wrong individuals, my experience was ultimately a frustrating misuse of time and effort.

Pros

Aira has a positive and supportive working environment where teamwork, learning, and personal development are strongly encouraged. The company culture is friendly and inclusive, making it easy to feel part of the team from day one. Senior management is approachable and regularly engages with employees, which helps create open communication and a strong sense of collaboration. There are plenty of opportunities to grow within the company, and hard work is recognised and rewarded. Overall, it’s a fast-paced but enjoyable environment for people who are motivated, willing to learn, and enjoy working as part of a team.

Cons

Normal new company issues - streamlining procedures and improving process. Fantastic role for somebody wanting to work hard and learn/grow.
