RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at FreeAgent full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Team incredibly communicative and helpful - On-boarding very organised - very little is left up to the newcomer to have to ask about. - There seems to be a lot of focus on employee satisfaction. - Bi-annual hack days, as well as 6 weekly "Wiggle" weeks where you can work on something you want, provided it's relevant to the company.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros
I've been at FreeAgent for 2 years and have to say it's the most challenging but at the same time most enjoyable place I have worked. I feel motivated to do my best and my work requires me to create new things and solve problems, but it's an enjoyable process with lovely colleagues and a healthy work environment. Always looking to introduce great perks and fun into the office
Cons
Typical days involve a few more meetings than I was used to before but the up shot of this is joined up thinking through collaborative working and no good ideas get missed! So not really a con I guess
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros
I've found this to be a really fun environment with a variety of social activities to take part in. You can join games nights, team charity runs, or just play pool and have a beer after work in the shared kitchen. People are friendly and inclusive and this helps new joiners settle in really quickly. There is a good work-life balance and although people work hard, there is an informal atmosphere that makes it easy to...

I can't think of any cons so far. The company is growing very quickly so we just need to make sure we adapt quickly and continue the great things that are in place already.
Advice to Management
Continue being transparent and making time to hear everyone's views.

Pros
Amazing people to work with, good work environment, very friendly company, reasonable autonomy. Everyone has great enthusiasm for their work.
Cons
Lofty goals and planning of too much work per quarter is often demoralising, not as flexible as they make out – it really depends on department whether you can work flexibly, not enough time for personal development

Pros
A team that's not only highly skilled and intelligent but very friendly. There's nobody at FreeAgent I wouldn't be happy to have a coffee with. Free lunch every Friday, whatever kind of tea you want, and plenty of biscuits - that's if the boss hasn't eaten them!
Cons
The only disadvantage is the commute but that's my fault for living in Cumbria!
Advice to Management
Stop scoffing all the biscuits!

Pros
Good culture, healthy environment, company focused on quality with lovely people. Amazing offices in Edinburgh. No micromanagement.
Cons
I had to leave the company for personal reasons (non-related to this company), a tough decision cause I loved to work there.
Advice to Management
The company is growing very fast, my advice to the management is keep this magic environment, avoid corporative models as much as you can.
