Pros

The company has great values and ambitions, and attracts really bright staff.

Cons

The company fails to live up to its values but doggedly insists on them when challenged. Things are transparent... except when they're not. Diversity of thought is encouraged.... except when it's not. It's a bit of a cult of personality for the CEO where well behaved bright young minds will thrive and true challenge or ambition is considered a threat. It is possible they will do the same in response to this review which would be rather droll. Things may have changed but the lack of women in leadership was also pretty shocking for a company that prides itself on being progressive.

Thank you for your feedback. It's hard to respond without specific examples, but to address some of your comments (hopefully we won't be "droll" in the process): * Transparency: It's one of our 5 core values and very many people comment positively (at work and on Glassdoor) about it. We live it in AMAs, all-hands where profitability / salary & bonus calculations etc. are explained and nearly all information flows through Slack. * Diversity of thought: With ~40 nationalities and unusual backgrounds such as politics, education, music & retail, diversity is something we truly embrace. Of course with the above average tenure we have, some will think in similar ways, but we abide by ‘disagree & commit’ & 'strong opinions weakly held' and in every EoY CEO letter the need to embrace change is called out. * Women in Leadership: Impossible to know when you were here (although assuming it's recent, as it’d be odd to write a review many years later), but for context female representation in Senior Leadership has gone from 20% in 2020 to 28% in 2023 to 43% in 2024. Which compares favourably to the FTSE: 32%, S&P: 29%, but most importantly UK Tech: 21%. We also maintain a gender pay pay of < 1% currently. which is significantly better than the UK [Tech] average. Either way, as the adage goes, you can't please all of the people all of the time. We do hope you've found an employer that suits you better and we wish you all the success in your future endeavours. Andrew.

Cult-like culture with surface perks but deeper issues

Pros

Some colleagues are supportive and collaborative.

Cons

Culture feels cult-like: employees are encouraged to see themselves as “FundAppers” rather than individuals, with perks used as a distraction from deeper issues. • Often targets younger hires who can be moulded into this way of working, which is unhealthy and unsustainable • Leadership lacks inclusivity and authenticity; senior management operates more like an old boys’ club, often disconnected from the reality of new starters. • Culture feels cliquey, with progression often dependent on which team you’re in • Poor management in some departments — more focused on personal career advancement than team support. • High turnover due to burnout and lack of long-term investment in people • Workforce lacks diversity and balance, with limited focus on developing local talent or building a truly inclusive environment • Biased behaviour are minimised or brushed aside, leaving some employees unsupported.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that parts of your experience at FundApps didn’t feel as inclusive as we strive for. To address some of the points you raised: * Leadership: The idea of an “old boys’ club” doesn’t reflect who we are today. We’re 40+ nationalities, and women make up almost 40% of our team, including in leadership roles across multiple functions. The average age across the company is 35, with interns and grads working alongside experienced colleagues. Diversity and inclusivity have been and remain central to how we run FundApps. * Team development: For the past 3 years, every people leader at FundApps has taken part in our annual leadership training program. We always strive to do more, but this initiative builds robust management capability and ensures leaders can effectively guide their teams. In addition, we run company-wide training throughout the year to support continuous learning and development for everyone. We believe numbers speak louder than words. A few that matter to us: * <15% turnover — below the industry average * 3.5+ years average tenure — people stay longer than is typical in tech scale-ups * 20%+ promoted in the last two review cycles, across all departments. Our promotion process is transparent and published internally, with decisions made by a group rather than just a line manager, to avoid bias and personal relationships (what you may refer to as cliques). * eNPS 43–59 — consistently well above the industry benchmark of 18 Our aim has always been to create a place where people can do meaningful work towards shared goals while being themselves, growing with us and forming the social connections that make work more engaging and rewarding. This balance is what makes our culture distinctive. We know no workplace is the perfect fit for everyone, and we hope you’ve found a role where you can thrive.

Pros

A big part of the company is the FOUNDER and CEO Andrew. His passion, personality, style and LOVE for the company are basically the engine that shapes and drives FundApps' culture and success. If you like Andrew and his ways (I did), you will likely have a very good time at FundApps! Complete autonomy, flexibility and trust from Management. I could basically do whatever I wanted, however I wanted and when I wanted, as long as I delivered. Very empowering and giving a great sense of freedom. Awesome culture, great people, great product. PUPPIES AT THE OFFICE?!?!? Yes please! No dress code i.e. I got to wear ALL my fresh track-suits. Basically just do you and do it well and everybody is happy! Also a certified B-corp. Coming from a more corporate background, I had no idea what this was, but it turned out to be one of the things about the company I appreciated the most! As a Senior CSM, I also had the pleasure of working with some of FundApps' heaviest clients, including top Hedge Funds and Investment banks while engaging with their teams from top-to-bottom and having the end-to-end client responsibility for these.

Cons

The pros by far outweigh the cons, but just to be transparent with anybody who is considering joining FundApps as a (senior) Client Success Manager: In my understanding, FundApps is (currently) purely organic and funded only through growth i.e. boot-strapped with no invested money. This means they are very cost-conscious and are not trying to be competitive in terms of monetary compensation - at least not in the client services team. I believe they aim for the median industry-wide salary, and this is not in FinTech where I would expect a higher than average, but just in general. However, I would say that this is partially offset by their various non-monetary benefits. BUT, if you are coming from a bigger SaaS or from many other places in Finance, you will likely have to take a pay-cut to be part of FundApps (guessing ~30-50% depending on your circumstances). DON'T join FundApps for money. Join FundApps for Love <3
