Pros

Lovely collagues, everyone is very keen to facilitate inter-team learning, and no-one is too busy to answer your question or support you. On-boarding is very good and a lot of inter-team communication to help facilitate your understanding of this often complex business. Nice offices. Benefits are pretty good, including generous holiday.

Cons

It is still a start-up. Questionable decision making over recent redundancies not related to performance but overall business needs. This means that many employees doing a good job were still let go as their role became redundant. Feel there has been a lack of foresight, with a range of employees of different lengths of tenure let go, including recent hires. Unsuccessful team members kept on. A lot of growth and then suddenly, a round of redundancies. This occurred when there were numerous new starting team members, hardly cultivating a motivated and mission-driven atmosphere.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback - we really value your thoughts and have noted your kind comments about our benefits, onboarding and, most importantly, how lovely our colleagues are. The recent decision to restructure was not taken lightly and we recognise its impact on all those affected. We are proud of all our Agreena colleagues and are doing what we can to help those impacted leavers secure new opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

Wonderful people, truly dedicated and believed in what they worked towards. Great work-life balance. Patient, sympathetic and understanding middle-management.

Cons

ELT, especially the CEO. Bombastic speeches at a million words a minute and after all of that you are left with 'what was even the point of all of that?' kind of feeling. Bad planning and a severe lack of foresight in a sector which is already very saturated and experiencing a lot of difficulty. Which ultimately leads to multiple layoffs over the span of 2 years, the latest one at the start of 2026. Continuous rumours of layoffs, quiet exits of some valued technical people led to low morale among the surviving few. Outside of a few remaining technical personnel, the company is effectively made of of salespeople trying to sell what is left and not succeeding because of a very small market to begin with.
