Pros

Good salary and friendly colleagues in my immediate team.

Cons

The director-level approach to strategy was blue-sky and laissez-faire and the whys and how's were never communicated, yet the business targets set were specific and very demanding. A legacy of wider broken processes and organisational structures, coupled with a high turnover of staff, lent to a challenging and pressured working environment. Proposals made around improving ways-of-working and introducing efficiencies were stonewalled and not heard due to managerial politicking. A faceless organisation, there was never any interest in my professional development needs, nor any concern about me on a human level and my personal well-being.

Pros

They are a global presence and one of the most regulated brokers around, one of the financially strongest too. They do have a very generous 25 days of leave and good employee benefits. Plus your colleagues there are really a fun bunch to be around.

Cons

Because of their flat structure, they don't have a proper career path for you to progress on. You just work and have little metrics to gauge whether you deserve a promotion and even then, there are few positions to get promoted to. You get randomly shifted around from your initial duties you signed up for. They have one of the worst spreads around and participate in very dirty tactics to make money from clients. They would prefer to take care of clients rather than employees.
