Pros

- Incredible ambition within the firm - VERY smart colleagues - Still maintaining an entrepreneurial, ideas-driven environment despite scale of business - Excellent benefits - Genuinely operate at the cutting edge of tech/ML/finance - Lots of investment to help achieve goals - Really good work/life balance compared to quant competitors - Strong commitment to learning and development - Friendly environment where people are encouraged to enjoy each other's company and have fun

Cons

- As noted by other reviewers, security has historically slowed things but this area is much improved - Like many firms, took some time to alight upon best office/WFH stance (having not offered any work from home pre-pandemic) but now have a really nice balance (c 2 days/week at home if you want it)

Pros

Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

Cons

No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
