Pros

Good investment in Trading education for all employees Intelligent stakeholders Strong brand reputation amongst candidates

Cons

The majority of Recruiters receive ‘below expectation’ performance reviews but Management refuse to take any accountability for poor stewardship Management prefer to hire and fire rather than improve their approach (over a number of years) Remote managers (who insist you must be in-person every day) use concerns you raise in 1:1s against you in official performance reviews Management refuse to work with you to find solutions to problems you face Management do not give actionable feedback

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
