Pros

The pay is decent, if you’re willing to forget the skills you’ve built in your career and willing to forgo giving opinions and having any autonomy.

Cons

Toxic culture Lack of understanding about anything digital and no desire to listen or learn from those that do know, going as far as pushing them out the door Unwillingness to consider change and that there might be a better way Top down damaging culture - think yelling at staff, discussing in a condescending way Heavily based on whether you’re liked by the top otherwise one minute you might be told you’re doing ok, the next that it’s not working They say they are data orientated yet don’t know what points are of value and what ones aren’t The SME industry is heavily outdated and FXE should be looking to change that, make it better - lack of digital understanding prevents this No understanding of the landscape they play in in terms of fitting into other businesses - recognition about what levers you have when SME lending isn’t as lucrative as insurance or consumer lending isn’t understood Micromanagement to the extreme

Pros

I can think of none.

Cons

Toxic leadership and poor management: Inexperienced senior management fixated on their own image than actually supporting staff. Feedback is not acted on, and decisions are inconsistent. Extreme micromanagement: senior managers send emails at all hours, weekends included, creating an unspoken expectation that employees drop everything to respond and salaries are low across the board. High turnover: People leave quickly, and it’s not hard to see why. Staff morale is low, and new joiners don’t tend to last long. No real career progression: Despite promises during recruitment, there are very few opportunities for development. Training and support are minimal. Work-life balance issues: Long hours are quietly expected, and there’s no appreciation for the extra effort. Culture of fear rather than trust: Employees don’t feel comfortable speaking up, and criticism is often met with defensiveness rather than improvement.

I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far. From day one, I’ve felt supported by my team and managers. The work is interesting and varied, which keeps things engaging, and I’ve had the chance to learn a lot from experienced leaders who are approachable and open to sharing their knowledge. Overall, it’s a collaborative and positive environment where you feel valued.

Cons
