Pros
The Compliance function, and some teams in the Bristol/London office, hold a wealth of knowledge. Compliance colleagues have a deep understanding of the business and are very knowledgeable in their area, often collaborating with Risk. The team will spend time ensuring you have good working knowledge of the business, but will give you the space to pro-actively learn how to navigate a task independently.
The team in HR are always open to conversations regarding various needs, and have evidenced that they will accommodate to disability needs where practicable. I found this process to be quite efficient having a long term disability myself.
Great office location. Great office amenities (gym, cafe, business lounge, roof top terrace, regular yoga classes).
Cons
Similar to other small companies, career progression may be vague/ambiguous. Note that this is specific to role progression, rather than salary or bonuses.
Understanding the business and how it operates can be challenging to begin with, however having the right support from your colleagues and line manager will help with this process.
