      Pros

      - Employee mental and physical health is well looked after at Ruffer, with exercise classes, healthy food options and support for managers with occupational psychology and leadership training - Ruffer has an admirable aim to put clients first where no request is turned down. - Good location and office facilities

      Cons

      - For a small company, the lack of collaboration and communication is shocking. - Big company bureaucracy and politics is rife, due to most of the senior management coming from large investment firms and not changing their approach to fit a small organisation. - There are too many "Rufferisms", to do well or fit in means conforming to this institution style mentality, which is what hinders progress. - Classic problem of too many directors/managers and not enough doers. The organisational structure is not efficient or appropriate.

      Pros

      Great place to grow, with plenty of opportunities to contribute to meaningful work and make a visible impact. The business is open to new ideas, and there is a genuine focus on improving how things are done across the firm. I’ve particularly valued the chance to work with a range of stakeholders and contribute to exciting initiatives.

      Cons

      At times, internal processes and coordination can slow things down, especially when priorities are shifting. Overall, it is a rewarding place to work, with talented colleagues, interesting challenges, and good scope for development.
