Pros

You’ll love your next job so so so much!

Cons

It’s hard to know where to start, but all roads lead to the CEO. He’s a bully who leaves a wake of chaos wherever he goes. Rather than be in the areas that can help the business succeed such as NY or London, he hides in Asia adding zero value and terrorising people in chat rooms and over the phone. So that he be treated like a mini (size and quality) Steve Jobs, he’s surrounded himself with a horror show “talent” who run key initiatives and business lines. Since they are all his friends or family, no one ever challenges him and subsequently, nothing good is developed and politics runs rife. Anyone with financial services knowledge has left having worked out its a sinking ship. The product is terrible and despite repeated requests from clients for development and additions to roadmap, nothing that delivers genuine value, transforms workflows or betters current services has been delivered. Bloomberg must be laughing that despite $450m ploughed into this company, the result is nothing short of useless. It’s unfortunate that so many good people believed the hype and left quality firms and jobs to try and make a difference here, but it’s impossible to make a difference in a culture and company as toxic as this. Steer clear, you will thank the people leaving negative reviews. I think the positive ones are from HR as everyone hates working here.
