Pros
The business is a start-up, they are maturing, but you should go in seeing the opportunity of where the business (and new products under construction) can go and walking in the door don’t expect a 50-year-old bank. Great Amercian tech company style share plan for employee’s, excellent benefits, free breakfasts, bar, regular team lunches, rewards etc. real tech company approach (love it). The team is very diverse, and it is amazing to work in an environment with so many different cultures and backgrounds, it builds a real togetherness. Always busy, fast paced and the management listens to new ideas and are always available to have a 2-way discussion. They listen, and that is important… I feel we are on the up after a difficult year; the business got it wrong with some of their hires. I am not going to call out areas, but thankfully in early 2018, they got a new CEO, Compliance leads & business leads that know what they are doing. They have experience in payments, .com & start-up. Leadership are also very approachable which makes a massive difference to me getting my job completed; they don’t just talk they do things that have a positive impact. New Group CEO is amazing and so humble.
Cons
Redundencies earlier in the year were tough, moral took a hit on the team. I understand why they did it as we shifted to the new products developed but it was still tough. We still have hard work to do and that means long hours are times.
