CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Full of talented people Great projects Heavy investment in technology and research

Cons

It starts becoming obvious that there’s some unfair discrepancies between team members in terms of salary. The pay is good compared to other non financial companies but less than the competition.

Cons

- As noted by other reviewers, security has historically slowed things but this area is much improved - Like many firms, took some time to alight upon best office/WFH stance (having not offered any work from home pre-pandemic) but now have a really nice balance (c 2 days/week at home if you want it)
