Not great - Other Moneyfarm Employee Review

Moneyfarm has a few positives that make it an interesting place to work. The work environment is flexible, with options for working from home and a relaxed approach to hours. There’s also a sense of learning and exposure to the finance industry, which can be beneficial for those wanting to build relevant experience. Some employees are genuinely passionate, and there are pockets of great talent within the team, particularly in investment. Additionally, the company provides some perks, like fresh fruit, coffee, and a generally low-stress atmosphere outside of certain deadlines.

Despite these positives, the company is hampered by longstanding management issues and a heavy Italian cultural bias that can leave non-Italian staff feeling isolated. Leadership, particularly the CEO, tends to micromanage, which impacts decision-making and limits team autonomy. Communication between teams is poor, resulting in confusion and siloed working environments. Career growth is difficult to achieve, with promotions often feeling arbitrary or tied to loyalty rather than skill. Additionally, there’s a lack of transparency in internal processes and hiring practices, which contributes to high turnover and low morale. Technical debt and a lack of innovation in tech stack management further hinder productivity and collaboration across teams.

- very easy job interview - small company, everyone is young - young people, good first work experience - the product is cool - skilled PM, good agile work - ceo is trying

- forced return to the office but no space in the office - a lot of layoffs, but worst performers are never touched - zero benefits, no salary raises for many years, a lot of necessary costs cut because company has no money. Even if they become profitable the company is destroyed - performance review process is fake and broken. Old people get promoted even if they don't work or hate the company. Good performance is useless - bad management = no hope for the future. All managers just are yesman - 99% of the time you don't do nothing, and sometimes you have to work all the day because deadlines are invented the week before and nobody says nothing - architecture is in the hands of inexperienced people. Code is really bad, not a lot to learn, a lot of useless meetings to make them understand basic stuff - everyone good I know is doing interviews to leave
