Pros

Company has a great space with coffee machine, microwave, snacks and coffee machine. Plus available fresh fruits. Flexibility to work from home.

Cons

The worst team leader ever and management. Half of the team left because only one person and managers haven’t done nothing. No training enough, very low standards. Workers overloaded as no one last. No progress in career and low salary. PAs have no idea what they are doing, portfolio changes often … big mess!

Pros

The people I met within the company.

Cons

If you care about your mental health, avoid this team. Management has clear favoritism creating an unfair work environment. Any concerns about this are dismissed and care for mental health from the senior manager is non existent. Staff turnover is extremely high, 6 people have left the team in the space of around 12 months. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. The company as a whole is not great, with changes to processes and systems every 6 months, high turnover of directors and no clear direction of what is happening within the company.
