Toxic - not a place if you want to grow in any capacity

Pros

“Fast paced”. The opportunity to be exposed to financial data. Some smart individuals and some nice people, but the majority have been let go of now. I hope the rest vote with their feet eventually unless the culture changes.

Cons

No structure at all. Not really any management. The strategy just seemed to be what the CEO wanted on any one particular day. Be prepared to be laughed at if you ask for benefits like flexible working or the ability to work from home. Stupidly high churn rate due to hiring and firing culture -> don’t be fooled by thinking a permanent role means permanent, you’re very much treated as a contractor with a notice period. I felt a culture of fear and intimidation which filtered down - public office dressing downs were a common occurrence during my time, which was very awkward and of course completely unprofessional.

Pros

Interesting area of work and some cool technologies. Some very bright people with amazing experience but little opportunity to learn from them. Good package and HR support is good when CEO is not around. Some of the middle managers could be brilliant but they were always marginalised which was a shame.

Cons

Everyone lives in fear of CEO. He spends most of the time telling everyone how amazingly clever he is and loves making fun of people in meetings (and some of the project staff copied this which was not great). No real plan and priorities change almost every morning, moving deadlines, no training, not a great place to do best coding.
