Cons

No career progression within the company

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Decent pay - Transformation team is ambitious and keeps growing - HR are making an effort to listen to employees - Allowed to work from home during lockdown - Free doughnuts on CEO's birthday - Despite not being able to have a Christmas party, HR are making the effort to come up with an alternative - Good reputation i.e haven't been fined by the FCA yet

Cons

- New joiner onboarding could be improved. Depending on what team you join, can take a while to get up to speed - Access request approvals could be quicker - Diversity could be improved - Can sometimes feel disconnected from the overall company vision

Pros

Good company culture and friendly environment

Cons

Internal system need to be improved

Pros

- definitely the friendly people. the support from colleagues and managers through covid have been great, and we have gotten lots of flexibility on working from home or the office, with substantial measures in the office to keep it a safe environment for the ones that prefer to be in. - autonomy and variation in your role, and scope to grow which makes it exciting. There is also much trust from management to do your job, and not being micro managed, but rather trusting your skills and experience. - great successes and a culture for innovation and technology, with exciting projects in pipeline that makes you feel a part of a journey and a company that is going places.

Cons

- the package over all is great, even though the salaries are not the highest in the market. The role and environment definitely makes it worth it though.

Pros

The structure is flat the team works efficiently between them.

Cons

Bonus paid in June of second year

Pros

I have worked for CMC for over a year now and have found the environment engaging, challenging and rewarding. Like any City firm it’s demanding but unlike other City environments its fair and understanding in its approach. The business is growing making significant investments in people and systems across both the front and back office. The office is open with all the requirements in place to provide a Covid safe environment. Those employees needing to work remotely are supported to do so but equally I prefer to work from an office to give space between my work and home life. Personally, I would struggle in a firm that was not supporting employees to return to office.

Cons

Very few so far. Career options may be limited by the firms size but there is scope to move laterally and there is support for formal training if needed

Pros

Without doubt a company that's going places, investing hugely in technology and people Great people in a work and social sense People are empowered

Cons

Currently still fixed desks although that's changing

Pros

- work life balance - finally working from home again

Cons

- Disgusting company to work for. Two weeks ago we were told that one person in the office tested positive to Covid-19....did they tell us to work from home? NO. We were asked to continue going to the office. What if other people got infected? What if those people infected more people while commuting? That’s so irresponsible! You should be ashamed of the way you handled this pandemic! - senior management is ridiculous. They don’t even know what they’re doing
