Pros

Some talented and amicable individuals in the team. Has taught me to be more wary of an inexperienced management team before joining a company!

Cons

A fry cry from the collaborative start-up/fintech culture they try to promote externally. Unpleasant "Them and us culture" is driven by the arrogant and inexperienced directors. Compensation package is poor when compared to what is offered elsewhere in the market. Employees treated with little respect and expected to shoulder all the blame when things do not go according to plan. Loyalty and contribution not rewarded, very limited career progression opportunities. Hire and fire policy creates a terrible atmosphere in the office.

Thanks for the post – you raised some points that we've worked hard to address over the last few months. It’s been a roller-coaster four years of rapid growth for the business, and so nerves have gotten a little frayed at times. Having grown the business so far without doing lots of big fund-raises, we've been working at 150% to get to where we are. But we've implemented a lot of new ideas to improve things that are working really well – not least options for every single employee so that loyalty really is rewarded. Keep in touch! Paul

Pros

Employees are heard. Surveys are sent out for employee feedback and actions are taken accordingly to address employee concerns/ preferences. Management are transparent. Questions may be submitted anonymously and management will answer each week at Townhall. New joiners find the company to be forward thinking.

Cons

Fast moving company with scrappy solutions at times. This leads to rework, but people are willing to work together to fix issues. There is a forgiving and understanding nature among the employees.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are passionate about creating an open and employee-centric culture. We use CultureAmp for our employee surveys and use the points and data collated to create goals and action points for leadership and other business functions. Our Townhall is a transparent and open space for employees to understand more about the direction of the business and to be kept in the loop with leadership choices and thoughts. As a scale-up business, our challenge is building fast and at times appreciate this would mean re-doing work, we would would welcome suggestions by anyone in improving this aspect.
