Pros
Good opportunity to learn about Fintech/trading and you get lots of exposure. Grads (LDPs) get favourable treatment and can get involved with many things throughout the business.
Cons
Terrible culture. Everyone moans constantly about the company and has nothing positive to say. Management have no real power. CEO micromanages EVERYTHING. Nothing moves without his signoff. Terrible pay. Expect your pay review to be at least 2 months LATE every year without fail. Bonuses are terrible and base is not competitive. They have a real problem with not being able to retain top talent in their grad program, especially in London. Way better opportunities for young talent outside of this company... Top managers are bullies and lack common respect. CEO is has no interest in making ION a nice place to work. Purely profit motivated individual.
