Pros

- Great exposure given the volume of accounts you handle and number of brokers you engage with - CII qualifications fully paid for with decent bonuses for completing (Cert 1,500, Dip 1,750, ACII 2,000) - Recent new office is very modern with fantastic views of the London

Cons

- Very long hours expected to tackle the workload assigned - Salaries well below the market average, with the exception of managers and those fortunate enough to be offered shares within the company - Bonuses are paid in two halves to keep you tied for 6 months in order to receive the second half, this is not the market norm - Metrics are aggressively tracked (response times, bind ratios, etc), and you will be expected to either improve them or have a good reason for them being how they are

Pros

-Flexible hours (come early, leave early), occasional snacks, coffee, milk, and occasional pizza or sandwiches provided. -They might pay for your Azure certifications. - Good Engineers in and friendly - Latest tech stack -Bonus

Cons

Limited flexibility since new management: mandatory office attendance three times a week, no longer allowing extended remote work abroad, discontinued "do what you want" days, stricter overall policies. Lot`s of pressure to get things done due to hard deadlines. Not much progression. It takes a very long time to overall progress
