Pros

International environment with exposure to multiple markets. Some great colleagues at the individual level. Potential for impact if you’re in the right place at the right time.

Cons

Cons: Leadership culture is highly controlling and lacks transparency. Decisions are often made behind closed doors with little to no explanation. Micromanagement is the norm, not the exception. Feedback is rarely welcomed unless it's positive. Constructive criticism tends to be taken personally by higher-ups. There’s a strong sense of favoritism and inner circles — if you're not in, you're out. Mental wellbeing doesn't seem to be a real priority, despite the talk. Good people leave quickly, and it’s often brushed off or spun as a positive.

Pros

The coffee machine was great… when it was working.

Cons

The work environment can become extremely stressful due to a lack of support poor communication and unrealistic expectations. Employees are regularly asked to do more without corresponding recognition or compensation. The culture is affected by negativity and gossip which makes it difficult to maintain a healthy and productive workplace. Certain behaviours and internal dynamics negatively impacted the overall team atmosphere.

Remote work flexibility Charitable initiatives Remuneration

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, poor work-life balance, and a very cliquey culture. The ‘Pepperstone way’ feels cult-like. Extremely disorganised and lacks of clear strategy
