Pros

Good pay if you go in as a director and you get share options every year

Cons

Very bad place to work. Highly political, and no career growth beyond where you join if you join as mid level executive. Badly run by people having no domain knowledge and essentially a place where back office staffs from banks end up after they go through a redundancy cycle. I voluntarily left due to politics and bad work life balance

Business Outlook

Pros

You can work from home. They rarely fire anyone. They will hire most people even if the level is very low. It’s a good starting job.

Cons

This company wants you to think small and inside the box. Very stingy, no company events, small bonuses, no food or 10bis, even though they say they give it. They prefer seniority over professionalism. They encourage a bond of silence instead of raising issues. Also there’s massive differences in salary for the same position in the same team. You might do the same job as your team mate but he will get 5 or 6 times more money than you for the same job. Most people in the company are past their prime and are in the same position for many years.
