Pros

Good office location, Flexible working, Easy work

Cons

Could not agree more with the other reviews! A lot of people whilst I was here suddenly ‘left’. I’ve never been in an organisation like it, HR just push staff out of the door. They only look after the top tier This company will cover up anything to ensure that they look good In the time I was there 3 people ‘left’. They tried to make it 4. As I understand this is still happening today with a further 3 out the door

Awful place - avoid at all costs

Pros

You get perks if you are in with the right people, but it will come at a cost Leaving - you'll only realise how bad this place is when you go Increase in poor mental health You may get pizza lunch occasionally

Cons

Racist and sexism, favouritism Do not work in the Financial Protection team, if you don't get harrassed sexually by a former director (luckily now 'retired') you'll be treated badly by his replacements who are two faced and nasty. Customer support equally poor, some directors will avoid you at any cost. Hr turn a blind eye on any issues and the ceo doesn't want to know. You are more likely to be paid off / put on garden leave / retired / quietly shoved out than promoted or progressed in this company and that is at any level - no one is safe Discriminating against pregnant ladies and returning mothers, and no chance of career progression No pay rises or bonuses bar the absolute minimum that they can give, but the leadership team and ceo will still pocket thousands in annual bonus Will push more work on you with no reward, inflexible working hours Gossiping non supportive place

Pros

If you can get over lack of progression and leadership approach and are happy to do an alright job to get by it’s fine Some nice people They appear to be trying to be better with HR and treating people but there’s no point if senior leaders can’t get with it

Cons

No point going out of your way or going above or beyond, it won’t be recognised Stepped on by people with louder mouths Lack of leadership skills Everyone in senior leadership team could do with going on a course People with lower salary roles get forgotten about and are expected to do a lot It’s not open and honest Political nightmare
