Pros

Interesting culture almost cult status and a wonderful place to learn all about the financial markets before moving on. Free food and drink. Very modern offices.

Cons

As soon as you start to earn too much or you get above 40 years of age, a system exists to manage you out of the company. It is an exceeding well trodden road with countless, unfortunate, good, honest and hardworking people have become victims to. This has almost entirely evolved from the age of the company, it's amazing growth and the lack of experience in its managers. Zero man management skills resulting in individuals being targeted as soon as they disagree with 'policy'. Sadly, to protect its reputation those pushed out are always made to sign a binding non disclosure agreement which keeps thrm from breaking rank. One particular firm of solicitors has made a small fortune in advising people to stand their ground and not buckle under the relentless pressure they are put under.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
