Pros

- As an engineer, Freelancer is big enough to solve interesting problems at scale, but nimble enough for you to make a huge impact. - You get to work with really smart people, that are all really motivated to do great things. - The best idea really does win. It's a flat organisation structure and you can communicate your ideas quite openly and have discussions where the whole company gets involved.

Cons

- Struggling to think of any

Business Outlook

Pros

A very fast paced work environment with lots of opportunities to be creative and use new technology. Once you have earned trust and respect your options open up a lot. Lots of perks onsite if you want them: food, gym, hardware. Can make a big impact and make large-scale culture and technology change if you know how to approach it.

Cons

Need to demonstrate capability and speak up if you end up on boring or legacy work. Very high churn rate of employees, especially those in probation period. Poor interview process but being refined.

A good experience but definitely not a long term career

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours Free soft drinks Friday lunches

Cons

Management spends a lot of effort trying to make you think it's a fun place to work and convince you that it's better than other companies so that you will accept a lower salary. The company is focused solely on profit and has moved away from R&D.
