Pros

- Strong team full of talented individuals who work extremely hard - Generally a nice environment (since dulled due to office move and company wide layoffs) - Exposure to Founders/C-level executives - Work with many different teams - Management team are former Investment Associates and therefore aware of pain points

Cons

- Extremely low pay (not competitive whatsoever leading to staff turnover) even with promotion to senior IA - Emotionally/physically draining - Long hours expected and not rewarded (especially during end of quarters) - Unattainable team targets (therefore bonus never gets reached which is demoralising for the team who work hard) - Tired market with investor activity being extremely low - Very slow progression path - Demoralised team with some considering leaving despite all members being passionate about the role

Pros

The projects were interesting and offered great opportunities to work on meaningful initiatives. Colleagues were collaborative and enjoyable to work with, creating a positive team atmosphere—at least before many of them were unfortunately made redundant.

Cons

Senior management often engaged in office politics, which at times came at the expense of employees’ job security. The Republic side of the team created a challenging environment, with toxicity that affected morale and collaboration. Prior to a major round of redundancies, the former Seedrs CEO assured employees everything was stable and that “we are a family,” which felt disingenuous in light of what followed—a significant red flag. Some leaders, particularly within product management, came across as detached, which made it difficult to trust in their support and commitment to the team’s well-being.
