Not a good company to work for

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice colleagues and flexible working.

Cons

The owners treat the company like a cash cow so keep the staffing levels very lean and run projects on low budgets, resulting in stress and poor morale. The IT department has been failing the company for some time now resulting in widespread fustrations across the board. Senior management is rather entrenched and lack the ability or willingness to significantly improve the company. Overall, it might be an OK option for a very short term strategic career move, but the above factors mean it's not a good place to stay for any length of time.

Very strong market position; limited upside to employees

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

This company has benefited from the economy continuing to steam along, record levels of issuance, and mis-steps from it's competitors. No question that money is being printed, but those who benefit most are the owners and equity holders. Work-life balance is reasonable but nothing exceptional based on what is offered in the market these days.

Cons

Below market pay and in select groups, very-top heavy employee structure that leaves little opportunity for strong performers to progress in their careers. The company spares no expense when investing in compliance and regulatory controls but the payroll is viewed with a cautious and frugal eye.

Not for Extroverts, I won't be staying

Business Outlook

Pros

People are friendly No hot desking Large individual lockers Nice breakout area for lunches - eating at your desk is discouraged

Cons

Management are reluctant to delegate and slow on reviews so talent remains under utilised Poor salary Not everyone gets a laptop, so some people can't work from home even in an emergency They sit in silence all day, it would be noisier in a library. I've heard it described as an "Academic" environment but I definitely found working at a University livelier than this. Remote working discouraged, since it's a silent environment it would make zero difference if we were all home based. Contract hours are 09:00-17:30, which is strange since in most places I would happily stay past 17:30 but here it feels forced and I want to leave on the dot.
