Czarnikow FAQ

Pros

- Lots of responsibility early, support with qualifications - Scope to progress within the company is clear and encouraged - Open door CEO policy is genuinely carried through - Incredibly interesting job at its core, financial markets with tangible goods that people use every single day - Culture is friendly and not massively corporate (huge plus for me), very much part of the family once you get in - Well thought through benefits package - Good work-life balance for industry

Cons

- Pay is under market rate at entry level - As with any small company when people leave/teams change there can be a lot to pick up

Advice to Management

- Keep pushing with the tech transformation, the more manual processes that we can automate the more we can focus on the interesting bits of the job

Pros

Good working hours, on the whole people are friendly, good business model

Cons

Low salaries for motivated younger staff hinder desire to innovate which results in a fairly high turnover Lack of tangible recognition for hard work and hierarchical approach to working based on length of tenure at the firm

Advice to Management

Provide hard working young people with an incentive to innovate and provide value to the firm instead of working for a few years and then moving somewhere else Stop artificially inflating the Glassdoor rating of the company by having new staff write reviews

Pros

The team are incredibly supportive, welcoming and friendly. There are several opportunities to collaborate with more senior and experienced members of the team. The workload is exciting and diverse. No two days are the same.

Cons

The working hours can be unpredictable, but often I'd voluntarily stay late.

Pros

Czarnikow’s culture encourages innovative thinking rather than textbook work ethic which is stimulating and refreshing. My role was a new addition to the company but the team was exceptionally encouraging and patient during my learning experience.

Cons

Day-to-day interactions and approaches are typically very passive and positive (which is all fine) but sometimes a more sturdy approach is required.
