Pros

Lots of lovely people outside management P&C trying hard to build a good culture

Cons

Despite talking a lot about culture the company has a toxic management culture where anyone who disagrees with certain managers is sidelined or removed from the company resulting in a massive turnover of leads. The company is driven by a profit over everything model ignoring any other issues. From a technology standpoint this encourages and endorses the cutting of corners and ignoring best practice with no regard for the safety of it's customers with it's mantra of "Get It Done".

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback, any sorry to hear of your negative experience. At Pepperstone we're driven by many important things; our vision to create a better way to trade; our clients; our people, and yes revenue/profit is also up there. During this period of our digital transformation there's certainly a lot of work to do in our technology teams in particular. We have and will continue to face challenges and tough decisions. If we're not making the right decisions and this isn't being heard, we welcome a further confidential conversation with the P&C team if you'd be open to it. Whilst 'Get It Done' is one of our company values, so is 'Exceptional Value for Clients'. Kind regards,

Pros

The coffee machine was great… when it was working.

Cons

The work environment can become extremely stressful due to a lack of support poor communication and unrealistic expectations. Employees are regularly asked to do more without corresponding recognition or compensation. The culture is affected by negativity and gossip which makes it difficult to maintain a healthy and productive workplace. Certain behaviours and internal dynamics negatively impacted the overall team atmosphere.
