Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for calling out the positives — particularly remote working, strong colleagues, and opportunities to learn and develop. On culture and work–life balance: start-up pace can feel busy, and it’s on us to make sure that growth doesn’t come at the expense of sustainability. We’re actively growing the team and putting more structure around planning and prioritisation so workloads stay manageable and work–life balance is protected. On challenge and feedback: constructive challenge is important, and people should feel able to share feedback and ask questions. We’re strengthening our goal-setting approach and making feedback more regular and consistent, so expectations are clearer and progress is easier to measure over time. On objectives: we recognise that strategy and priorities need to be communicated in a way that’s clear and practical for teams. We’re continuing to improve how we translate company goals into team-level priorities, so direction feels consistent rather than confusing. On pay and benefits: as a growing company we are transparent we won’t always match the largest firms on package, but we’re deliberate about improving what we offer. We introduced new benefits last year and we’re committed to continuing to strengthen the overall package as we grow. If you’re happy to discuss further, email hr@investengine.com with “Glassdoor” in the subject. Details help us translate feedback into action.

Pros

InvestEngine has a genuinely strong product and customer focus. UX and simplicity are not slogans — they are embedded in how decisions are made. Small, collaborative teams mean you can have real impact and see your work delivered quickly. There is high ownership across the company and people are trusted to make decisions. Leadership is transparent about performance and challenges, which creates alignment. If you are motivated by building and improving rather than maintaining, this is a good environment.

Cons

The pace is high and expectations are demanding. It is not an environment for people who need heavy structure or constant direction. As with many growing fintechs, priorities can shift quickly and that requires resilience. Processes are improving but still evolving in some areas. Performance standards are visible and you are expected to deliver against them.

Pros

Remote working is the only benefit.

Cons

Company has become incredibly toxic to work in. No benefits. Work life balance non-existent, be prepared to give your time for no recognition or reward. Ai has been brought in to monitor all meetings and arm management with excuses to terminate you. The business has been progressed with a KPI-centric workplace where the KPIs are filled are very subjective, some unattainable and others involve other parts of the business which means you are likely to fail your own targets.
