Threadneedle Investment Reviews

Pros

Good base salary, usual benefits. Some good people. Ambitious plans for next few years. Performing well when compared with peers. Well respected global brand.

Cons

Outdated technology. "Who you know" culture. Limited options for progression within company. Bonuses and pay rises are not in line with the positive messages regarding company performance which are drip-fed to staff throughout the year. In house talent not used to full potential. Reliance on third party solutions which are often delayed and poorly implemented.
