Pros

I joined this company over a year ago without prior knowledge in the industry and I think it's the best step forward in my career I could have taken. I have discovered, they make me work very hard which I did not like at first, but then I realised it's the only way forward to support my future. I built my knowledge on the industry and relevant expertise, with the help of my managers and colleagues that are very supportive. Now I feel all the hard work I have done is getting me to higher stages and the company values its hard working employees, and there is always reward! It's also a very social company and values social activities to build a stronger team moving forward. I appreciate working for a company that looks to expand and values it's employees input!

Cons

As I mentioned before, I sometimes have to do longer hours and hard work which isn't always great. However looking back in hindsight I appreciate the effort I put in much more as I got more knowledge and expertise out of it, making me more efficient at my job.

Pros

I've been with AltAssets for several years now, and have repeatedly seen first hand how dedicated, smart individuals have quickly been handed more responsibility and given room to express themselves - and their talents - for the good of the business. The team's small, close-knit and the atmosphere in the office is friendly and warm - in our previous office space the teams have been much more spread out and isolated, but coming to WeWork has provided a much better-defined work area and I feel communications between teams is much stronger for it. The CEO has a strong interest in all aspects of the business and is very approachable regarding new ideas and strategies, but in my experience has been happy to show respect to talented individuals and leave them to push forward plans and day-to-day work without constant interference. Also: -Centrally located office right next to Moorgate tube -Free breakfast on Monday as well as tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the week -Free beer on tap in the afternoons -Lunch provided by the CEO every Friday for a full-team catchup and ideas meeting -Plenty of post-work socialising between team members

Cons

Hard workers and those making genuine efforts to understand the business and progress it have prospered (and many are still here to prove it) - but as a small business there's no room for coasting along or doing the bare minimum. We still see some turnover in staff, but usually it's because they've been given a great grounding and gained enough experience to find a more senior role elsewhere, or because it's quickly become apparent they're just looking for a comfy, 9-5 job and don't really have the enthusiasm and drive needed to grow the business.
