Pros
The best company I have ever worked at. Amazing culture, encourages growth and progression and has a great work/life balance. I loved working for Freelancer. The culture makes coming to work so enjoyable. It is fair to say that everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming as well. Freelancer is extremely supportive of personal and professional growth. Opportunities for growth internally. Great engineering team. Really...

Still implementing processes after rapid growth. The office is open planned so sometimes it is difficult to have some privacy and the meeting rooms are always in use. It's fast paced. Sometimes unstructured work environment.
Advice to Management
Management should always be transparent and decisions should be made involving all relevant parties. Help bring about structure, try to be transparent with everyone.

Pros
Dont be fooled by the good looking office, free food and drinks.
Cons
Long hours- at a point where it affects your personal life. Not organised Management only seeking short term goal; not sustainable System is slow and old Self centered CEO - paintings everywhere in the office, laugh so loud in the room we can hear him from outside Job title doesnt match responsibilty No integrity Favoritism; a lot of pleasers
Advice to Management
Providing free food and drink is not ‘culture’

Pros
Fun place to work, dynamic and fast paced, managers given a good level of responsibility, able to put ideas across and have your opinion heard and respected from senior management.
Cons
Offer less responsibility to more junior staff members. Free food throughout the entire day so I often over indulged at breakfast and lunch so my waistline had some complaints :-)
Advice to Management
Offer referral bonuses to internal staff
