      Lack of transperancy and poor pay

      Principal
      Former employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      A good canteen, a nice building, and interesting colleagues.

      Cons

      The pay is significantly below market standards, and there is no transparency regarding salaries or promotions. Promotions often depend on pleasing the manager rather than merit. The work environment is unmotivated, with many employees doing the bare minimum. Additionally, there is a lack of clarity on remote work policies, and managers often request team members to work on weekends or during holidays.

      Less-than-ideal work environment with various drawbacks

      Associate
      Former employee
      London, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      nice facilities and subsidised canteen

      Cons

      The workplace is bureaucratic and rife with toxic internal politics. Career opportunities are rarefied and the lack of internal mobility foster an atmosphere where middle managers, more focused on preserving their internal position, exhibit territorial behaviour that can hinder a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment. Lack of leadership from the senior management allows these issues to persist, despite being internally common currency. Even if the tax-free salary and benefits seem alluring, the remuneration falls below industry standards, and full pension benefits require years to vest. It is regrettable that despite the potential for a unique blend of civil service and finance, the current state of affairs detracts from what could otherwise be a dream job at EBRD for many.

      Flexible work and lovely culture

      Associate risk officer
      Current employee
      London, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Can work from home easily and in other countries The people are generally lovely and it's a very international bank The culture is nothing like private banks, and it is generally less stressful, better hours and fewer deadlines The pay is good, and when comparing salaries you need to take into consideration that salaries in ebrd are essentially already net, as we are not required to pay income tax.

      Cons

      The workload and your experience will be highly dependant on the team you're in. Some are considerably understaffed, whereas in others the workload is very manageable. The bonus is relatively low, and doesn't have much flexibility. Progression isn't great either, and it's usually tough to get promoted and involves a lot of luck waiting for someone above you to leave.
