Pros

- Flexible working. - Nice modern offices. - Decent progression opportunities if you’re willing to stretch yourself. - Wellbeing of employees is well considered.

Cons

- No bonus or benefits beyond the bare minimums. - Extremely bloated and absent corporate leadership team who spend more time announcing new appointments (who have no impact and move on after 6 months) rather than setting a clear strategic direction and enabling teams to deliver on this. - US Centric, teams outside of this geography are ill supported to deliver effectively. - Does not attract the best talent. - Bad behaviours and in-fighting between teams is encouraged and rewarded. - Comms focused on maximising trading value rather than being legible to clients we serve.
