Pros

There were some people with real vision and intent to make the company great - the former ceo and founder being one

Cons

There was a certain level of dysfunction in key relationships among senior management, particularly between the then CEO and the COO at the time (now departed for another role elsewhere) which made working and succeeding at freespee utterly impossible. I understand there is new management there now and things have long since stabilised.

Thanks for your feedback. It seems you left Freespee before 2018 since we have not had a COO since then. The senior team at Freespee is super aligned on making our company great for our staff and our customers. We have a clear vision of Freespee’s future that is shared with the rest of the company on a regular basis. Senior management is more aligned than ever before as we faced the challenges of 2020 together with our customers. We also attach high importance to our staff wellbeing and success as illustrated for instance by the creation of a wellness committee for each of our offices or the provision of a LinkedIn Learning account to each of our employees.
