      Don't be upset if you don't get hired

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Snacks, office, catered breakfast/lunch sometimes, friendly employees

      Cons

      - Not a competitive salary so employee loss and under-engagement don't surprise me - There seems to be intentional understaffing as if company is preparing for a sale. - Lots of propaganda and koolaid being served. - The executive/upper management teams try to make employees feel responsible for making up for their lack of planning through the "going pro" initiative. Things (procedures, systems, team coordination) don't work well and it makes it very hard to do my job.

      London Office — Warning !!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great office location (5 minutes away from two different tube stations)

      Cons

      Although the building is beautifully designed it’s actually infected with mice, which run across the floor and desks. No work life balance at all! They overload their staff with work and expect them to stay working over and beyond their actual hours. Hardly anyone has a lunch because of this environment. Severely unpaid and under appreciated hence the high turnover. Job that you apply for won’t be the job that you end up doing. Senior management are cliquey and have their favourites. Nothing is optional, everything is mandatory.

      Pros

      Great client base Great reputation Most coworkers are highly motivated Great benefits program and a lot of people trying to do the right thing for our clients and for employees

      Cons

      Culture changing for the worse New executive leadership is trying to turning the company towards a big bank/Visa culture which doesn't match our client base Shoot first, ask later mentality
