Careers at Honest
Honest is the network doing mobile right. Founded in 2019 by school friends Andy Aitken and Josh Mihill, it’s on a mission to show a broken industry there’s a better way to do mobile.
Honest is powered by cutting-edge tech, including the unique Smart SIM that offers better coverage and free use of essential apps worldwide. Customers also benefit from bills that drop every month, support in seconds, and a smarter app that keeps them on the right plan.
As well as the UK’s first B Corp mobile network, Honest is a carbon-negative company and member of 1% for the Planet. It’s also one of the UK’s top-rated mobile networks on Trustpilot.
Since 2019, Honest has raised £3.9m in funding led by DMG Ventures, Ascension and Tiny VC.
Escape's take on Honest
Two words that you thought couldn't go together, honesty and mobiles. As a conservative estimate we have all spent 70% of our lives on hold to mobile phone companies while they overcharge us, globally, to the tune of £182m a year. Honest Mobile are the opposite. Their mission is to create a network that is good for people and the planet while providing a human service. Unsurprisingly they're also a B corp, a Best Startup award winner and a carbon negative company. If you want to work for a company doing all they can for the planet while also disrupting the opaque world of technology, Honest Mobile are pretty much the best there is.

📣 Mission & Purpose
I love Honest's mission and purpose. It's great to be part of a business/ team that has similar values to me
⛑ Employee wellbeing
One of the first businesses I've worked at where I can tell the company care about me as an employee, rather than just the work I do
😎 Autonomy
Love being in control of any extra responsibilities I want to take on. Also I never feel like I'm being micro managed, which I have experienced in other workplaces
Overall
Honest is the best company I've worked for. It's great to have a job where I'm generally excited for the day ahead everyday. This is due the team, the ownership I have over my role and how my values match those of the business
