Pros

The idea is good, the talent is good. Most people are genuine and kind.

Cons

I’m glad to see more and more negative comments coming in. Must mean that the fear is fading away. I’m also surprised to think that management did not think that all the people who left (voluntarily or made redundant) would communicate among them. At this point, with all the talent that has left, they could set up a competitor company to pick up all the pieces when 3S Money fails. They have underestimated the intelligence of everyone who has left (and remains) and it seems it is coming to bite them . If it is not financial troubles, it will be regulatory ones (despite having one of the strongest and most knowledgeable Financial Crime teams I’ve seen). But one way or the other (despite fireworks and smokescreen) this company is doomed.

Pros

Good salaries and office loacations

Cons

All negative reviews are accurate, are still occurring, and will likely persist unless top management is replaced or the company collapses. Everyone recently hired says they regret not taking Glassdoor more seriously. Massive turnover - many people leave within a year or less. Toxic to the core and led by inept, conservative, disrespectful, irresponsible, narcissistic individuals with questionable ethics and a tendency for gaslighting. Many, many people’s mental health has deteriorated here. People are openly homophobic and transphobic without repercussions. Misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia are also common themes in jokes - even made by very senior people who claim to be “female leadership advocates”. There is zero empathy or care about people; when you are unable to work, pregnant, ill, or even deceased, you basically don’t exist and there will be little to no transparency or communication about why people are leaving (and it’s never, ever, the company’s fault). HR is evidently biased and not independent. It’s not everyone that’s bad - there are some brilliant individuals but the trickle-down effect from leadership is too strong to stay safe from. And it’s not just the culture. The tech is terrible; the backend and hardware are outdated and IT is overworked and understaffed - ‘fintech without the tech’. The benefits are laughable; old fruit, stale crackers, and some slices of awful pizza. Salaries are not benchmarked and the ‘no gender pay gap’ claim they boast about is simply untrue. There are hardly any HR processes; and the ones that exist are only working against you.

Pros

There are no pros, they value sales

Cons

- Worst management ever - They are very unprofessional and badmouth their staff of one department in front of the other, and feel it is normal and everyone should laugh about it. I have not seen such unprofessionalism anywhere else in London, UK - No training is provided - All they care is about numbers and targets - You work at one place (London), managers are at a different location (Netherlands), and QCs (Latvia) are located somewhere else. The communication gap is unbelievable in this day and age. And the blame culture is so solid that it is unbelievable - Managers compete among themselves which is a good thing but not when you are competing with someone who is thousands of miles away in a completely different/separate jurisdiction and is not harming or competing with you in any way. And it is even worst when you make it so obvious in front of your team by bad-mouthing the person who is not present - From day one they start giving you targets and if you ask for training, they say you are an experienced hire. They expect you to come with full knowledge of 3sM's work culture. The irony is, there is no work culture - They are notorious for the blame game, management is hired from the large institutions (ambitious people) who are go-getters, so to prove themselves, they treat their co-workers/sub-ordinates as pawns. - For eg: your manager will approve something and then if it goes wrong, you have to take the blame. -It can be as bad as taking the blame for breaching FCA's compliance rules, and they will not blink their eyelid in asking you to do this - We were a small compliance team of 6 people, 3 people resigned as they could not take it and I am the 4th one to leave 3sM - Working with 3sM means stress, mental and emotional trauma, anxiety and constant worry - If you want all of the above and earn less than other competitors join them or join a company that values ethics and not just numbers - The CEO talks about getting in touch with him and hiring talents, but in reality, when you join them they make you feel worthless and the only time you will hear something positive is when you overachieve the target - I am appalled to experience that such organisations still exist in 2022 - Please do your due diligence before joining 3sM as it could be the worst decision you will ever take and even worst you will feel demotivated, dejected and unworthy. - Essentially, all of your life you have been proud of yourself for not being a victim of anything unjust, you join 3sM and become one. - I can write a thesis on them but I believe people reading this got the gist of this company
