If you work in IT avoid..

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you like hybrid you will work 2 days per week in the office for IT, 3 days for everyone else.

Cons

Low pay, hemorrhaging staff, HR can't get its act together to hire replacements, positions go unfilled for months and they make remaining employees do double roles. Cto just quit. They do not listen to employees and make no effort to retain people. IT is a sinking ship.

good start... but soon a bitter dissappointment

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively relaxed atmosphere. Human-sized organization. Possibility to travel to HQ offices to meet colleagues in person. Holidays allowance

Cons

I can only speak about structured finance... Politics ruled. You could be bullied behind the scenes if you stood in the way of some managers. People (incl managers) rewarded according to politics, despite incompetence. Lack of access to top senior management. Compensation probably the worst in the sector, and if you complain their approach is make you feel you don't deserve more.
