TP ICAP Finance reviews

Right now the company is in the middle of a big reorg, and it can get confusing. There are a lot of rumors going around, and people are worried about job cuts or their role moving to Manila

a) Disorganised - poor leadership. b) Systems are broken - feeds and general poor ledger set up in Finance. c) Poor Reporting due to Poor MI (developed by a clueless person). d) Seniors Finance Managers (especially those +15 years) hire their old TP mates or people that are not quite there, to prolong their own survival. Whilst getting rid of good people or people leaving due to poor treatment. Let's be honest your management style is not going to hold up anywhere else, nor are your lies!!! e) Dishonest and discriminating behaviour from the top (HR turn a blind eye, they know). f) Long hours, because nothing works and so-called leaders who just don't know or get it or worse don't care! g) Mental Health issues ignored. Bullying is deemed acceptable. Lots of people have been off sick. She knows she's caused it - go on shout at people some more!! h) Lots of errors in reporting - that are covered up! by Seniors Finance Managers from their Master! Even to the extent of rolling her eyes up behind her master's back! i) Finance, IT, Operations, and Front Office are all very disconnected from each other. j) Sinking Ship - Senior Management out for themselves. Since Nico B was appointed CEO share price is less than half??? (To date of this review). k) Shouting at the dog at home is deemed acceptable, along with shouting at staff. l) Blame Culture and lies are common, and facts are ignored. m) D&I is not taken seriously (check box exercise to create the impression). A culture of subtle racism is common, although HR will never admit it or do anything about it. n) HR staff leaving - and speaking truths on what they see. The rest of HR is not being honest or realistic as to what is really going on. o) Fire Alarm never turns off (everything is urgent, just different shades of urgency!!!!!) p) No or little bonus for Finance. q) High staff turnover. r) Poor outdated technology/systems. s) Front Office behaviour towards support staff is poor, but they are deemed as more important and can do or say what they want. t) WFH not managed - COVID rates are going up! u) Month-end close, and year-end close are always late in Finance and full of errors! with lots of non-stop monthly late corrections. v) Auditors place no reliance on internal TP ICAP controls, and seem to be auditing everything, and then tell EMEA Finance they don't get it!!!! - Honestly. I don't think anyone in Finance gets it themselves!!!! w) Micro-management, and clock-watching are very common. In the office, some people spend more time monitoring people's screens than doing their own work. x) Difficult to take off holidays when you need them, during non-important dates, because every day is considered urgent!!! y) Favouritism, Politics and Drama. z) Stress and anxiety are experienced by most staff, but people are too afraid to speak up, they just leave and then their work is spread around and no new person is hired at all, or for quite a while.
