Pros

After so many years it's harder and harder to find the pros. The only constat pro in the past couple of years has been the view from the office.

Cons

I strongly believed in the new CEO however it now feels more chaotic than it was during former CEO's days. Last year 4% salary increase and sign a contract to be able to get a bonus. This year, well no contract and ZERO pay rise ZERO bonus and a this after month's of working on EoY performance reviews to meet your curve. If no one got a pay rise and you knew that obviously why make us worm even harder to meet an imaginary performance review curve that had no impact whatsoever on salary increases. There is not a month without the announcement of new leadership and executive hire or change but we cannot hire an officer in UK with the lowest salary on the market. And all the AI announcements - you make it sound like its this amazing thing coming our way when in fact you just work behind closed doors on how to get rid of people so after every townhall where you rave about AI having to reassure the team it won't impact them becomes to norm.

Pros

FNZ has been an incredible company to work for and is being run by the best leadership team you could ask for. We’re experiencing a significant amount of growth and our executive staff is driving the organization to new heights. Over the last couple of years, the entire operating model has been optimized aligning all teams to the vision which has enabled collaboration and makes it enjoyable to go to work.

Cons

We need high performing employees that want to constantly push the needle forward. There’s still many employees that are skating on by…however, the new management team has done a great job filtering out the detractors.

Pros

Fast-paced environment High visibility Supportive peers

Cons

My experience within the CEO Office at FNZ was, unfortunately, the most toxic professional environment I have encountered in my career. While the role offered visibility and proximity to senior leadership, the culture at the top was defined by fear, intimidation, and a profound lack of respect for support staff. Long hours were expected (including nights and weekends), but basic professionalism, appreciation, and empathy were often absent. Communication frequently involved raised voices, public criticism, and reactions disproportionate to the situation. Situations outside of anyone’s control were treated as personal failures. There was little psychological safety, and many employees were reluctant to speak up due to fear of retaliation or career consequences. What was most disappointing was not the workload — it was the tone and treatment. Hard work went unacknowledged. Loyalty was not reciprocated. Requests for reasonable discussion or negotiation were taken personally and met with swift, punitive responses. Several colleagues privately expressed similar concerns, but few felt safe voicing them openly. There are talented and hardworking people at FNZ, and the firm has significant potential. However, until leadership models respect, emotional intelligence, and accountability, turnover and morale challenges will likely persist.
