Current Employee – been working at IG Group
Pros – Pay and perks are comparably good. Occasionally get the odd bottle of champagne when business goes well. No expense spared with on the Christmas parties.

There is an emphasis on projects to deliver on time even if the quality is incredibly bad.
Very few good Team Leaders, and lots of overseas staff. Not a professional culture.
Advice to Senior Management – It might help to have formal dress instead of people wearing jeans/t-shirts and trainers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

We have a pool table and wii/ps3 in the offices for all to use.
Free Fresh fruit and fresh coffee for all.
highly regarded staff attitude for pulling together int eh same direction.
Everyone is friendlyand it;s a great atmosphere to worki n.
Cons – Software company that is growing so it;s hasn;t got the opportunities for career progression that other larger companies offer. his is just because the company is small in comparison still.
A lot of reviews on this site state this but I think it;s a good thing because if the company too large you lose the individuality.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep treating your employees brilliantly. Don't stop respecting their intelligence and lsiten to them every chance you have. Keep it up.
