Ok - Risk Analyst Openmarkets Group Employee Review

It makes me happy to be a part of a company that has the technology and team to contribute towards people’s financial future and well-being. OMG Employees and stake holders alike have seen resilience, grit and tremendous growth, especially in the trenches @ OMG. I admire the almost malleable way the company has countered events that at the time, seemed like major setbacks. I can only think of a gracious swan on the surface, whilst determined legs are kicking under the water. OMG has shaped obstacles into growth opportunities and product development which expanded the business irreversibly. We do things differently, we take risks and for countless other reasons I am proud to be an egg in the carton @ OMG (you'll understand the reference when you're on the team). If you're thinking about coming to a FinTech, one that values its employees and gives them a platform to be heard-your search seriously ends here. I can't wait to meet you.

Company wide communications have improved immensely in the last 12 months after a staff survey. Position description (admittedly from almost a year ago) was minimal and could've more accurately reflected scope of role. The company now has a People&Culture team so should be a non-issue moving forward.

- The team are an amazing group of dedicated and talented people - You’ll have the opportunity to forge relationships with a wide range of industry people, depending on your role

OMG is a small start up that has experienced astronomical growth over a very short period of time and has struggled to recalibrate internally to reflect this. As a result, there is a high turnover of staff, with many leaving within the first 6 months. - Job descriptions are vague or so broad as to be impossible for one person to fulfil; if they exist at all - Pay reviews and formal check in’s do not occur; equity is purchased by staff, not given - Training does not happen - No pathways for meaningful career development or mentoring, as everyone is stretched too thin - Boundaries are blurred, with an expectation you’re always online - Culture consists of an occasional team lunch, organised and paid for by staff - Extremely low staff morale across different offices - Negative top-down approach from management - employees are not valued and are seen as expendable - Communication across teams/offices is poor, leading to inefficiencies or work being duplicated
