Salaries far below market rate. Long hours with no recognition or reward for it.
Don't even think about bringing up a career development planning with managers - they are not interested and almost offended by it. Autocratic management style with a managing partner who interrupts, talks over people and is very condescending. There are no channels for giving feedback and there is complete lack of transparency from senior leaders. So this toxic culture will continue at speed. The old school IB culture is strong here, along with all the politics and favoritism that go with it. If you want a rewarding and innovative startup environment where ideas and contribution are valued- avoid Flagstone at all cost.
