Work hard & have fun - Research Manager Boring Money Employee Review

Generally flexible, young and friendly team, nice office, good starting pay.

Lack of structure and process, at times stressful, start-up mentality despite age of business.

1. Small company, big ambitions with a founder, Holly Mackay, who leads from the front with a mission to make financial services and products easier to understand and use. She understands the consumer's viewpoint and isn't afraid to voice her opinion. 2. Exceptional access to a network of key figures in finance, lays a great foundation for both the consumer and B2B parts of the business. 3. Products and services focused solely on finance an important tick, as other firms lose quality when spread over different sectors. Something I've experienced first hand. 4. A small team, approx 20, (but growing) are all pulling in the right direction, no-egos blocking projects, willing to work across other stuff not their own. Having worked in large companies, I've witnessed ambitious "team" members talking a good game, not contributing and been at the front claiming credit. 5. Yes, it's a busy company and the work-day is full-on, but it's a start up/scaling up business, and you learn a lot (even after some 25 years+!!). 6. Excellent location above Bond St station, and senior management have embraced flexible working. 7. Social side now scaling up (Covid restrictions allowing), with a couple planned in.

1. Fast-paced, busy, and always need extra resource (which firm doesn't??)
