Pros

Good talent pool and growing organisation

Cons

Poor culture, revenue driven, lots of politics and only want to be seen as compliant when interacting with the FCA but there are no real desire to invest in compliance and fully adhering to regulatory requirements. No work life balance flexibility as 5 days in the office.
