Culture at the lab
The culture at hedgehog lab is very open and honest. Even though there is a hierarchy it doesn’t feel like a hierarchical structure. You can go to anybody in the company of any seniority level with a question or issue and it will be listened to and you’ll be given help.
‘People are our greatest asset’ is one of our core values and this remains integral to what we are trying to achieve across all sectors of the business, ensuring the company goes above and beyond when considering the wellness of staff.
Our employees describe our culture at hedgehog lab as ‘friendly’, ‘open’ and ‘very accepting’. We really strive to put our team at the heart of all decisions that we make.
We believe that having diversity within our team is integral to doing our best work and creating the most innovative products for our customers. We will continue to foster an inclusive culture at the lab where everyone can be their authentic selves and thrive through our DEI efforts and attention to inclusive policy work.
We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply to our roles and we don’t discriminate based on race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, genetics, disability or age.
We are a family friendly employer with a culture based on trust, autonomy and flexibility.
