Flexible remote work, but toxic leadership culture persists - Staff Accountant Freebird Employee Review

- New ownership has brought a positive and motivated energy to the company - CEO is transparent, involved, approachable, and genuinely invested in rebuilding the right way - There’s finally a clear vision and business direction, which feels refreshing - Leadership expectations are realistic - Working remote is a huge plus and leadership trusts employees to manage their work - Good opportunity to grow professionally because the company is actively evolving - Teams are more collaborative now and communication between departments has improved significantly - You can feel that people actually want the company to succeed again - Higher compensation opportunities than previous ownership. Focus on employee trust and retention

- Since the company is still rebuilding and growing under new ownership, some processes are still being figured out - Certain teams are stretched thin while the company continues scaling

In this new era of Freebird, there’s more trust and genuine interactions with each other. We each have our roles, but we are a small (but mighty!) team, so there’s a lot of collaboration. No more being silo’d. I have more control and responsibility for my world now vs minimal interactions with people in the office, staring at a computer screen, and having little autonomy. It’s super motivating knowing others trust my work and insight. Professional stuff aside, there is a real personal investment here and I couldn’t ask for a better company to work for. It’s been a journey, but I am so glad to have an opportunity to be a part of Freebird as we turn over a new leaf with new leadership that cares about the people and not just us as employees or customers. What we’ve been able to accomplish so far makes me proud! I can’t wait to see what else our collective efforts bring in next year…and the year after that…and the year after that…and so on!

Can’t think of any at the moment!
