Pros

Interesting work. Dynamic young workforce. Generally people are interested in providing the best service offering. Nice location with a good view over London.

Cons

Analytics staff are second-class citizens to brokers. They are not rewarded pay-wise or in terms of business involvement. Brokers often take analytics analysis to meetings alone to present as if it was their own, often despite not being able to explain it. I believe that brokers are concerned about quantitative analysts potentially becoming brokers and are therefore ensuring that they are not involved in the business winning process as a self-preservation strategy. Lack of clarity around bonus, poor pay reviews and employment of a horrific bonus claw back schemes.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
