The prospect of building out the security team for such an awesome and highly-regarded scale-up was always too good to pass up, and has come with some unique challenges and solutions, 3 of which I thought would be worth sharing.

Since Form3’s inception in 2016, company values have played an important role in our operations. Last year, a dedicated team was put together and given the responsibility to review the current values, and develop and implement a fresh set of them.

As the world becomes more aware of the impact that human activity has on the environment, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to take action to reduce their carbon footprint. At Form3, reducing our environmental impact is a priority and we believe that the best way to achieve this is to become a net-zero organisation.

At Form3, we are 100% remote and fully flexible - we all live different lives and enjoy a wide variety of working environments. For some of us, this also means we have atypical co-workers: dogs, cats, horses, and even lizards form part of our unofficial “Pet department”.

In February, we marked the annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans and non-binary (LGBT+) history month in the UK!

In this blog, I wanted to focus on ‘disability’ from my own personal and professional perspective as this is one area of DEI&B that I don’t feel gets the attention it so clearly deserves. I will discuss the main benefits Form3 offers which I believe make Form3 a top employer for people with disabilities.  

As we celebrate Women’s History Month at Form3 during March, we also wanted to take the opportunity to recognise women primary carers working in the tech industry, as unfortunately it is still considered a male-dominated sector. Olivia Harrison, Senior People Partner for our R&D function, joined our Form3 team a few months ago, and she tells us all about her first-hand experience on what this looks and feels like, navigating the job market as well as balancing home and work life.

At Form3, we’re committed to making interviewing as smooth and transparent as possible. Read about our promise to our candidates here.
