Pros
Great place to work with exciting, cutting-edge technology that is continuously evolving. There is a huge amount to learn across financial regulations, the investing world, its instruments, and how they are managed and settled. - Leaders at Freetrade demonstrate a strong sense of ownership and sharp business acumen. - A supportive and impartial HR department that is transparent and continuously improving. - Hyper growth in both market share and product features. - Truly a one-stop shop for general investment and tax-efficient schemes, including ISAs, Junior ISAs (JISAs), and self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs). Which makes you feel proud on building such a product that millions of lives depends on. - High performers are recognised and appreciated regularly. - The company prioritises hiring not only talented and skilled individuals but also people with strong values and soft skills, resulting in a culture built on respect, care, and ownership. - Great office spaces in London and Budapest and very central location. - If you are in security, the thrill you get from working on protecting billions of assets and millions of users personal data is unmatched. - Very good work-life balance
Cons
- Fast-paced environment where change is the only constant, which can feel overwhelming for those not used to it. Despite being an established and mature company, it has a strong startup feel. - High autonomy comes with high accountability. People have full ownership of their domain and the freedom to make decisions, but are expected to own the outcomes. Personally, I think that is a fair trade-off, but if you prefer structured processes and clear instructions, this may not be the right fit. - Being a heavily regulated company means some changes must go through multiple review stages to ensure compliance, which can slow certain processes down.
