Long but ineffective recruitment policy
Long recruitment process, with several pointless tools and stages. It would benefit from including more humans in the process.

Tremendous waste of time
Tremendous waste of time, they will have you spend hours on an application for you to not even get an interview, I have more customer service skills in my little finger than they show during the recruitment process. Steer clear. Steer well clear.

Worked for this company from Jan 2021…
Worked for this company from Jan 2021 until sep 2022. The last 3 months of my employment I was put on sick due to a traumatic event & health issues by my doctor & encouraged by my managers to take time out, however after 3 months of being on sick I decided it would be fair to resign whilst I got my health back together & i was advised I would be welcomed back when I was ready. This was a lie because I applied for my role again after 6months & I was rejected. I then applied again & this time I was put through the assessments only to receive an email stating I was unsuccessful as I didn't have the experience basically. This baffles me as I have over 10 years of experience in Customer services & 1 & half comes from working for sensee ! Don't bother applying there are better companies out there who would pay more & the flexibility with hours is first come first serve & they get booked within 5 seconds.

Absolutely Ridiculous
It's been a week since I applied for a job here and still no reply. But I am so glad about this after reading all the reviews here. I went through a bunch of useless training and answering dumb questions just to end up realising the truth about this company. Absolute waste of time. Very over glorified company.

Get you to jump through many hoops with assessments, no genuine feedback afterwards, expect you to provide all equipment - thank god they said no after looking at all the reviews on here - dodged a bullet! I have the requisite experience but no mention made of where I didn’t fit. Then invited to reapply in 12 months - why would I?

Worked for company for a year
Worked for company for a year. Sadly left as one team leader I felt was slightly a bully, he was not even my TL, but kept getting involved. He had me in tears a couple of times. They are saying I went AWOL, not quite true, I sent am email and got nothing back. Also trying to say I got an AWOl on one day and another the next, also not true I got two on same day. I see lots slating the company, but if it takes you 30 min to get into systems, yr not doing job right. You DO get paid for over runs, or let TL know and normally get to take whole break. And it's called journey to work, no you dont commute, but there is a process to getting work ready for yr shift. As for micro management, if you were in office eyes would be on you all day, so it is only polite to let them know when you are stepping away from your computer for a private break. Please don't let all the bad reviews stop you from applying. I am sad I left, and wished I had delt with this differently.

I recently applied to this company to work as a home based customer service advisor, i was invited to do the assessments but then I didn't hear back from the company. I recently received an email saying in not so many words, thanks but no thanks even though I have 5 years experience of call centre work. I will not be applying to this company again .

You have to buy your own equipment
You have to buy your own equipment, they don't pay for training and worst of all, they take over your house, they know what you are looking at. They take control of YOUR pc. Be very careful.
*** Update..yes I did work for you, I don't base reviews on others,bi find out for myself, so I know what you do. Don't try to pretend you don't do these things. One year! Some people can't shell out hundreds and wait a year! ***

So I happily applied for a role with Sensee Homeworking having worked from home successfully with my local council of recent times, they failed to respond to my tests that I did for them, I sent personal documentation I.e Passport etc.
I phoned today to check the application progress only to be told they hadn't looked at it and I would here back today? 5 minutes later they phoned back to ask if I had a dedicated room for an office, I replied its open plan lounge with office space only to be told I wouldn't be taken further in application process, that's a new one, discrimination on living arrangements.
I think folks I've had a lucky escape from what seems a poor company to work for or an inbetween company.
Oh well such is life....Happy days

Glorified call centre
Glorified call centre, Expected to work the hours that best suit the company not yourself. Pay is abysmal & i should have seen the red flags when they talked about the company being like “one big family”. Systems are outdated & slow, training is the biggest load of nonsense. Don’t bother wasting your time with the company, unless any of this sounds appealing to you.

I applied for a role with Sensee for…
I applied for a role with Sensee for the third time in about 5 years. I got to the second stage of the application and am certain that my 10 years of customer service experience as well as my several years worth of administration, data entry, data analytics, HR and payroll experience should have sufficed however they have rejected a clearly very qualified person again with not much explanation as to why.
The hiring process doesn't make much sense to me because I tend to get jobs very easily. When I asked for feedback in the past, I have received absolutely no response so I do not expect a response this time either. Very disappointing and confusing as to why this has happened again.

Do not order from sensee
Do not order from sensee! Return you have to pay for yourself is fully expensive. My delivery took a long time and because it took me I wanted to cancel it which was no longer possible because it was on the way. Now I wanted to send it back because the delivery took me too long and I found the ordered shoes cheaper elsewhere do not respond to a compromise for a free return or price moderation! Before they always answered ne but because the package arrived, it doesn't really matter now. I will never order here again and warn everyone against it.

Great place to work!
I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint and gain more work life balance. Sensée have given me a remote culture that I love and new work friends all around the UK and NI. Working from home is not for everyone, but it surely is for me! Thank you Sensée!

Reply from Sensée
Brilliant!
I love working for Sensee, the training is extensive and the managers/TLs are so supportive! You are never alone, you need to work hard but you harvest what you sow as they advertise roles internally first. Fully remote, is a call center job, team and culture are great. Couldn't recommend more!

WORST OF THE WORST COMPANY
The worst of the worst. Just don't work here, save yourself the stress and find another job.

Avoid like the plague unless you're really desperate
First of all you need to be logged into their systems 30mins before your shift starts (which is unpaid).
Before you even start with them you need to fit their description of a suitable working room, which is either a completely separate office if you have a family/partner, or a sit in your bedroom all day if you live alone, because living rooms aren't allowed at all.
You will have your PC monitored during ANY Sensee working hours, including your time off, even though we have secure remote worker applications for when we are on shift.
You need to buy a lot of equipment and pay for DBS etc before you can actually start. The pay is also not worth the back to back calls, rude customers and stress.
Training was good however the woman conducting this was very slow at times and would not stop saying 'umm' and 'err' constantly which was highly irritating to listen to (it was every other word).
Sensée HEAVILY micro manages every millisecond you are at work and its like working in a prison with someone breathing down your neck. This is in addition to the strict and frankly rude quality assessors who mark your calls.
There were instances of Teams video call meetings, with multiple managers listening where you had to share your screen and audio & have the session recorded, while you were taking live calls for around a hour to watch and listen to everything we were doing and see how quickly we are doing it. This was apparently to see how they can get us to all improve our call times. It was beyond uncomfortable and completely unnecessary.
As mentioned, they monitor absolutely every millisecond you are working in each status (available, busy, complaint etc), as we are not trusted to just do our jobs.
Several team members stats were shared to the whole account without their permission on multiple occasions by managers, to shame the ones who had been using the busy status for too long (even though this is used for any customer work you cannot fit in to the call wrap time), and was a completely unacceptable bully tactic.
There is an expectation that we have to work over our breaks and even completely miss these if a call goes over - which is not legal once we have worked a certain amount of hours. You also have to take any calls that come up even 10 seconds before the end of your shift. Sensee does not care about this because you get paid for any time you are logged into genesys and see it as overtime.
Hours booking is a complete joke. With a 35 hour contract you can and likely will still end up working 6 days a week, unless you want back to back calls everyday from 9-7pm.
There are heavily monitored bathroom breaks that we needed to announce on livedesk by putting 'QBP' (quick personal break) like small children, which are then timed. Good luck if you have IBS.
My manager was an absolute wolf in sheep's clothing. Really acted the part of the sweet & innocent motherly woman which people fall for hook, line and sinker. Initially she was very kind, supportive and nice, but would have excessively long one to ones where you basically had to tell her your life story and everything that had been going on (probably for gossip).
After a few months her 'nice' persona gradually started slipping and she would be so incredibly rude, unhelpful and incompetent on livedesk. If she made a mistake regarding you or your hours, and you brought it up, she would gaslight or try to twist the situation to fit her narrative (even if there was literal written evidence to the contrary) which was so bizarre and uncomfortable. If you also didn't answer her replies immediately or within a minute she would put banners across the screen demanding a response, even if you were busy on the phone with a customer, which was utterly obnoxious.
Ended up having to put in a complaint as after a specific 121 with her (she was so irritated that I wouldn't tell her every detail of my life and answered her questions simply) that she made a completely fabricated allegation that I had been rude, short and basically miserable towards customers, as well as saying she would be monitoring me closely going forward to 'make sure it doesn't happen again'. AKA do what I want in future, or I'll make it difficult for you. She made snide comments about how 'some people just can't multi task' as I apparently should have been writing call notes, sending emails, talking to the customer & replying on livedesk simultaneously, which is impossible. After finding the specific call she was talking about, it was the exact opposite of what she claimed. She had made this up to get back at me for not sharing every detail of my life with her in a 121. Bully tactic.
Left as I knew she would continue to behave like this and make it difficult for me if I didn't do exactly what she wanted/said. There was more to add, but there is a character limit on here so can't.

You need the be the managers pet to survive
I worked for Sensee for just under one year. There is a lot of pressure to meet KPI targets. I felt like I was being bullied by management and eventually they sacked me I worked really hard even if you a back from break a second late does not go down very well. With this job you have to be the managers favourite or they will get rid of you. I was in my previous job 12 years and never thought there was such ruthless companies operating totally messed me up but now I have a permanent job with normal people and I’m happy with the direction of my career.

Brilliant Place to Work
Amazing onboarding, very welcoming, clear and organised, kind, friendly, supportive, approachable trainers and team leaders, training is between both sensee and the client, we use the client's own software systems, all very secure and even though you work from home, you're not isolated, you are supported. Many opportunities for career progression. Choose own hours, part time or full time your choice. Highly recommend.
