        Pros

        The work culture is the least toxic and most positive I've experienced. They genuinely care about your personal and professional development. They understand that their staff are human and should be treated so.

        Cons

        The refurbishment of the beautiful office meant I couldn't see my wonderful colleagues for a while!

        Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It's great to hear. We can't wait to get back to the office too, spend more face time with colleagues, and enjoy that spectacular view 🤩 Not long now!

          Pros

          Really friendly and enjoyable place to work. Lots of lovely benefits too such as a 4 day work week in the summer months! There is also a great level of commitment to learning, progression, and personal/professional development.

          Cons

          Nothing that comes to mind!

          Thanks for leaving your thoughts. 😊

            Work with friendly and capable colleagues. Engineering principles are sound, with many good practices in place. Coherent and empathetic leadership.

            Cons

            The business domain can be quite dry, depending on your interests.

              Pros

              I've been at FreeAgent for a little over a year now and it has been a positive experience. Pretty much everyone that I've met has been helpful and demonstrated an interest in making this a good place to work. Generous annual leave policy as well, with Fridays off for everyone in July/August. No regrets from me about joining the team!

              Cons

              Some office time is required each week for non-remote workers. It could be a pro or a con depending on personality and preference.

              Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊

                Pros

                - Smart and kind people you can learn a lot from - Excellence in engineering: there is a blameless and supportive culture where it feels like everyone is trying to do a great job without any ego - The business is creating something useful for people that actually helps them out. You get to work on problems that are helping customers rather than just finding ways to sell them stuff - Work-life balance is amazing. People work hard but everyone finishes at 5. You also get 4-day weeks in the summer, which are awesome - The approach to progression and pay is very well thought out and thorough - Great support for remote employees

                Cons

                Nothing that I can think of

                  Pros

                  This is by far the best company, team, and environment I have worked in. They care for their staff, they go above and beyond to help people. I have learned a lot and been able to teach a lot in my time at FreeAgent.

                  Cons

                  Genuinely, I can't think of any, other than sometimes being in a place like this can make some people forget what other places are and have been like and so they expect a lot, that's not on the business though.

                  Thank you so much for sharing your review. It is wonderful to hear. 🌟

                    Pros

                    Such a well-considered way of working. Both in terms of the type of work being done and related frameworks to help ensure work is a success, and in terms of the company culture (positive, valued, autonomous). I've been employed in fintech for over 20 years (crikey!) and FreeAgent is as good (if not better) than any other place I have worked.

                    Cons

                    Like many companies, FreeAgent is still working through how to best operate in this newly formed hybrid way of working. Lots happening to figure out how to work optimally though.

                    Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and feedback! We're delighted to hear it. 😊

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
