Pros

None really except for the people you work with. Will employ school leavers on less than a Macdonald's salary but it's still a way into finance as long as you don't stay.

Cons

Low pay, low moral the epitome of corporate greed. Staff are not taken care off. They have a resource department not a human resource. Staff turn over is well above average. Over worked and no flexibility. Prejudice is widespread. Homophobia racism and bullying. Managers are not trained unless your one of the lads. No flexibility and your adds are miss leading. 36 days leave including public holidays. 23 days leave plus the usual bank holidays, senior race day and Tynwald day are not given but they are added to your annual leave.

Pros

IFGL is one of those rare organisations where the culture isn't just a slide in an onboarding deck, people look out for each other and collaboration feels natural rather than forced. The trust the organisation places in its people to manage their own time and deliver results without micromanagement is something I don't take for granted and it has made a real difference to the quality of my output. I admire the direction the business is heading under the current leadership and a clarity of vision and a real energy at the top that filters through the whole organisation.

Cons

I can't think of any cons

Pros

Used to be an enjoyable environment in 2022

Cons

You had better hope you don’t encounter an issue with your pay, as HR is awful and will drag their feet when it comes to correcting it. Refused to issue me a payslip but would issue me a payment of below minimum wage for a month worked, and taxed it at the highest rate, and then taxed the following months wages at the highest rate, and just advised to speak to the tax office. Refusing to take accountability and treating staff with utter contempt. Managers are very clicky, seems to be a large conflict of interest with some managers supervisor their siblings. Very nepotistic hiring / promotions Micromanagement Poor pay Some managers are good workers, but terrible managers holding very poor management skills, lacking leadership and no feedback on performance
