Pros

1. Small company, big ambitions with a founder, Holly Mackay, who leads from the front with a mission to make financial services and products easier to understand and use. She understands the consumer's viewpoint and isn't afraid to voice her opinion. 2. Exceptional access to a network of key figures in finance, lays a great foundation for both the consumer and B2B parts of the business. 3. Products and services focused solely on finance an important tick, as other firms lose quality when spread over different sectors. Something I've experienced first hand. 4. A small team, approx 20, (but growing) are all pulling in the right direction, no-egos blocking projects, willing to work across other stuff not their own. Having worked in large companies, I've witnessed ambitious "team" members talking a good game, not contributing and been at the front claiming credit. 5. Yes, it's a busy company and the work-day is full-on, but it's a start up/scaling up business, and you learn a lot (even after some 25 years+!!). 6. Excellent location above Bond St station, and senior management have embraced flexible working. 7. Social side now scaling up (Covid restrictions allowing), with a couple planned in.

Cons

1. Fast-paced, busy, and always need extra resource (which firm doesn't??)

Pros

- Opportunity to get involved in interesting and important work from the get go - Can clearly see and feel the impact of your work, both on the company and the people it is helping from the general public - Nice atmosphere; the team are always willing to go the extra mile for you - Training opportunities and support provided for extra qualifications - Exposure to senior members of the industry from the beginning of your career - No limit on growth; your input and ideas are valued and encouraged across the board and the scope of the company is always expanding - Regular support and mentoring from line manager

Cons

The rapid rate of growth, volume of new ideas and fast-paced environment may be overwhelming for those who prefer a more rigid/leisurely working day. Probably not best suited to those who ONLY work to get paid and are happy to coast through and do the bare minimum.
