Pros

The people are awesome. You're rarely the smartest in the room and they're genuinely nice people to have a drink with The problems we are solving are complex and as a firm they are always trying to push the envelope Compensation is top quartile Unlike other reviews here, I think the return to office was well managed. The firm see collaboration as important and wanted to maintain our strength of connection whilst we work remotely by asking for one day a week in the office. They put on transport and if you had concerns around it, it was fine to stay home. We have been fully WFH during lockdowns, unless you want to book a desk in flex space

Cons

I hope post-Covid we can retain the flexibility of remote working on occasions as some days you are simply more productive We've grown fast because we are highly ambitious - we are finding our feet as a larger firm and the growing pains associated with maturing can be tricky to navigate

Pros

Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

Cons

No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
