Pros
Good office location, decent CEO and pension plans.
Cons
Perfect environment for someone looking to be micromanaged, enjoys blame culture and aggressive tactics to ensure you burnout. Someone who wants to work with software so old it doesn’t load on to a web browser at full screen yet is told to leverage AI and be proactive in finding news ways to be productive, yet is shut down at any suggestion of doing that isn’t according to the exact process guide. If you aren’t that ambitious and want to work somewhere that it is certain you have nowhere to move up, this role could suit and helps if you don’t mind being severely underpaid. The recent FCA scandal shows Close is on trajectory for a sinking ship and this is reflected in the pay and culture as management struggle to manage the damage to reputation and financial performance.
