Pros

None, from the lack of funding through to a management team failing to fight fires effectively, there isn't much positive to say about this once great company.

Cons

Nobody knows who is next for the chop, and if they aren't being made redundant, they are resigning before they are pushed. The company does not currently have a viable competitive funding source, so the loans they can offer are just not attractive. Management appear to be making every effort to fix it, but it may well be that the business is holed below the water line.

Pros

High ownership and visibility; genuine ability to shape delivery and governance. Deep expertise in specialist property and SME lending. Broad cross-functional exposure in a relatively lean organisation. Opportunity to influence strategic change rather than just execute. Faster progression for high performers compared with large corporates. 3/2 Hybrid working Office/Home.

Cons

Processes can be fluid, creating ambiguity and delivery friction. You must have an "Agile" mindset. Compensation typically competitive, but not market-leading. Smaller firm risk profile versus major financial institutions.

Pros

I feel trusted and respected in my role, with the autonomy to manage my responsibilities effectively. Communication is clear and transparent, and feedback is constructive and timely. I value the fact that my opinion is actively sought and feel that my work is meaningful. I am surrounded by knowledgeable and friendly colleagues who collaborate in order to deliver the best results. There are opportunities to develop for those who want to.

Cons

Some processes are evolving which is inevitable in a growing business.
