Pros
I've been working at Chapman Freeborn for just over two months and i can honestly say that i couldn't have asked for a better place to work. Everyone has been super welcoming and I've moulded in to the team straight away. A special thank you to all the marketing team for helping me get started. The interview and HR process was super smooth and i'm looking forward to a long working relationship with everyone at... Chapman Freeborn.

Pros
Lovely culture, passionate people that are happy to work here and get along. Great manager, great team, great job! Amazing support and receiving lots of positive feedback. Trust and autonomy are given naturally... which is the complete opposite experience to some other places I've worked. You're treated like an equal here and people of all levels converse/get along which is refreshing! If they want me to leave... they'll have to arrest me.

Nothing so far... There's a new cafe and some more food options here. Free fruit on Wednesdays; transport discounts. Boss kicks my butt out the door at 5:30....Can't complain.
Advice to Management
Great job management!

Pros
The people are friendly and pleasant to work with. My direct manager is great and very open and welcoming to new ideas, enjoyable to work with, and very encouraging and supportive. A high level of autonomy and the opportunity to get stuck in and hit the ground running. Work life balance is important here and encouraged, and they are understanding, and supportive when it comes to flexibility with working... parents/childcare. The HR team were excellent throughout the recruitment process and helpful and slick with on- boarding.

Pros
Company has a nice 'family' vibe, all departments are very friendly and helpful.. especially when you first start and are trying to find your feet. Senior Managers are lovely and make time to say hi and ask how you are when passing by.
Cons
Not much in the area in terms of places to eat, you have to drive if you want to get something other than what is available at a food van. A new cafe has opened up next to the building so this may improve things!
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work

Pros
I have worked for Chapman freeborn in the IT department for about 20 month and it was one of the best experiences of my life . The company is great and they support you in every aspect in life . From the CEO to HR they have been supportive through tough periods and always were listening to you wherever possible . Management team very accessible and you could always talk to them if need be . Pay was ok and bonus... scheme and company weekend in a different country was great . Very honest people around you . I wish I could stay as I really loved the place and my work which involved lots of travelling. Manager was very nice on the private side and very understanding and helpful . Differences with manager in work related things and the way to do them led me to the decision to leave .
Show MoreCons
Minimum room for internal promotion because of the flat Hierarchie . Sometimes people miss to see the potential and stop you from doing great things . Most of the higher level managers are there for quite a long time and I have to say they are all great from the personal side of things but sometimes not very open about new ideas or constructive feedback .
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing but maybe in certain departments listen to younger people or new ideas even if you think you are right try to give them a voice .

Pros
Friendly diverse workforce all around the globe who care about each other and the business, very much like a big family. The company invests in people and show progression of salary and benefits based on years worked. Its refreshing to have loyalty rewarded. They also have a yearly company weekend which was always a fantastic time. The people there are the greatest thing about this job.
Cons
Being based in Crawley in the UK, the wages tend to not be huge for someone used to working in London. However this is somewhat compensated for by the end of year bonus. Also being based on a business estate there is nowhere to socialize on lunches or after work.
Advice to Management
Keep investing in the staff with training and opportunities. This was a dream job for me and couldn't have asked for much more from the place.
