Pros

- "Autonomy" at some extension - You can talk to anybody

Cons

- It is all dictated top-down - The management team thinks the firm is a FinTech but it is a Financial services firm like many others - Culture is poor - Flexibility is there as employees want to have it, but it will change soon as management does not trust employees - The product sucks as it is going nowhere

Thank you for your review. We’re sad to hear your time with us wasn’t all positive. We appreciate any feedback, and so have tried to address your points below. We are sorry to hear that you feel management don’t listen or don’t trust employees. We have gone to great lengths to enable, encourage and then act on feedback from our team, including an anonymous feedback platform, team satisfaction insights, exit interviews, recent workshops on key topics affecting people and a Culture Club, so we’re sorry this wasn’t effective for you. We really pride ourselves on hiring great people and giving them the autonomy they need to do their job. As you mentioned, we have flexible working policies which allow people to arrange their diary in a way that suits them and this has been really successful. We’ve put a lot of energy into evolving our tech stack to be market leading, based on Kotlin and React. But one of our core values is to settle at brilliant so we’re committed to continuing that evolution. We try to tackle projects as a technology business, and we put technology at the heart of our product decisions. Approximately two thirds of our team are working in technology or data orientated roles and we recently re-organised teams into cross functional squads. We are putting significant energy into democratising data and have an exciting ambitions. In terms of thinking about the good we do in society, we’re proud of how we’ve made this a part of our business. We have a strong focus on ESG and have a large programme of activity made up of volunteers from across the wider team. This is just one of the ways that we are trying to live our mission and values on a day to day basis. We're sorry that this activity wasn't more visible to you and certainly are looking at more ways to communicate and celebrate the different achievements of our fantastic team.

Pros

- People under management are friendly - Flexible working conditions - Office is super close to the station

Cons

- Management are very top down and don't listen to employees - Retention of long standing employees is low. They think everyone is replaceable - Annual salary benchmarking is a joke. Low % versus current market's rate - No bonus, removed due to "benchmarking" which still doesn't account for it - No company shares - The IT is terrible to work it - They think they are a fintech, yet offer nothing like a fintech - Some staff are teacher's pet

Thank you for your review. One of Fluro’s objectives is to create the best culture in FinTech and we are really proud of what the team has achieved so far, so we are sad to hear your time with us wasn’t all positive. We do appreciate any feedback, and so have tried to address your points below. We are sorry to hear that you feel management don’t listen. We have gone to great lengths to enable, encourage and then act on feedback from our team, including an anonymous feedback platform, team satisfaction insights, recent workshops on key topics affecting people and a Culture Club, so we’re sorry this wasn’t effective for you. In terms of retention, we work hard to attract and retain our extremely talented team, but occasionally people do leave. This happens for a range of reasons, but we always try to build any learnings into our future recruitment and people policies. We’re conscious that every person who has worked with us has played an important part in building the company we are today. Compensation is one of the significant factors that any employee considers, and on that basis, it has to be one of the most important things we consider as an employer too. We have a fantastic team and want to compensate them accordingly. We pay exclusively by salary and do not use bonuses, as we believe the certainty of having the highest possible salary is better for team members than having a discretionary bonus that might or might not be paid. We also feel the same about share options – when we asked our team members in 2020 whether they would prefer to have some share options, or just higher salaries, they overwhelmingly responded to prefer higher salaries, and we increased salaries at that time in replacement of the old share option scheme. In terms of the level of compensation, we do benchmark all roles every year and adjust compensation accordingly, to ensure we are continuing to pay at a level that retains the great people we’ve hired. And we are confident we are. The best proof point for this is we have grown the team from approx. 35 to approx. 75 in a little over 18 months, during an extremely competitive hiring market. Many of those 40 new team members had offers from other employers as well as ours, and we’re delighted that they chose us based on compensation, as well as culture and role. Once again, we’re sad that the things we’ve tried to do in terms of people and culture didn’t work for you. Particularly, we’re disappointed that you didn’t feel people listened and we’d love to have a chat offline if you would be up for doing that? Please drop Nick or Jenny a line if you are and we’ll get something set up.

Pros

Really great culture and super intelligent people all working together to create amazing things. Lots of initiatives to get involved in such as volunteering, mental health first aiding and lots of social opportunities.

Cons

workload can be a lot but just as it is in any scale up environment really. No real cons here.
