Pros

Great perks, lots of social events, comfortable office, the company invested a lot to become “Great Place To Work”

Cons

Middle managements need to have more respect to people. Yes freshBooks is a fast growing company which experiencing lots of changes, but all the hard works we have done in the past need to be treated with respect. Lots of great people who worked there over 3 years get pushed away. The HR can’t be trusted at all, I emailed HR with some of my concerns and questions, then she forwarded the email to my manager :-(

Hi there, thank you for submitting a review. It’s wonderful to hear that you feel strongly about our perks and FreshBooker events. As for the concern you raised regarding HR, the HR role at FB is to support FreshBookers in bringing issues and concerns to resolution. We do this in partnership with each FreshBooker, and, only involve management if necessary to bring the concern to resolution. Although there are some instances where a manager needs to be involved for resolution, we only involve them if the FreshBooker is looped in and agrees that this is the best plan of action. Our HR team has met again to ensure this is how every instance is handled and we thank you for sharing your thoughts.
