First of all, when tendering for the new role they advertise the annual salary comp at £50k. It's only when you conclude the process that they then make you an offer of sub £50k with ridiculous stipulations around targets which are ultimately unachievable. This is them negotiating in bad faith if not borderline fraudulent. This is driven by senior sales mangt not based in the UK who have never limited experience in financial markets and running a proper sales team. The company is very much data-driven in terms of how they assess their sales-people utilising a specialist team ( with no knowledge of the market they are assessing) to send constant and pointless reminders about ongoing performance which are the complete opposite of motivational. On top of all that the product itself in the form of the platform is sub-standard for the marketplace, there is nothing that it does cheaper, better or more effectively than any of the other major (retail and otherwise providers out there). Speaking of retail, if you join the UK team then you are unable to speak to classifying retail clients in the UK - how ridiculous is that !? There is talk of launching a UK entity but this is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon if ever, showing a complete lack of commitment to the UK biz. The company can't even afford or be inclined to take any proper office space and so have a tiny suite in the We Work in Devonshire Sq which nobody has access to. They continue to fire ppl as quickly as they hire them under the pretext of not making targets which is beyond ridiculous for some of the reasons I already mentioned above and more. I could go on and on about the platform, UI and so on but those of you reading this hopefully get the picture.
