Pros
Quickly understand how not to run a business (and conversely how to properly run one) and how not to treat others. There are no pros/upsides to working here.
Cons
Working at Dolfin will damage your professional reputation such is its reputation in the industry. Management have no tangible experience of running a company, let alone of the sub-sector of financial services they find themselves in. No track record of managing money, despite being open for long enough. No compliance oversight whatsoever. Inability to clearly articulate how much assets the firm manages, or doesn’t manage, very grey area....But they do have an office in the most expensive building in the UK (so I guess that’s an upside if you like ‘all show, no go’). Questionable business practices...The list goes on and on and on... Roll the dice on your career, but if I could expunge it from my record, I would.
