- A self-described “lean” company, which basically means you will have plenty on your plate and you shouldn’t expect support. If you have shortcomings on any piece of work, it’s your own fault and you will be held accountable.l
- Senior management is very much inaccessible as they are very busy managing up and have no time to also manage down. Make sure you’re on the same bus
- Roles in the company structure are very uneven in terms of expectations and output, based on the section you’re in. Pick wisely and you can find yourself on a free cruise
- Don’t provide feedback, it’s not appreciated. It’s a typical business that knows better than you do
- If you don’t get on fabulously with your upper manager its best you find yourself somewhere else to work
- It’s a company that thinks of itself very highly, unfortunately it’s stuck in a niche market which it’s trying to milk for all it can. At the mercy of financial advisers (many who work for market-leading companies that provide financial advice)
- A business that’s very much driven by numbers and figures, however given the space it’s playing in maybe trying new things in order to discover new avenues to success AKA as being “entrepreneurial” (see above) might offer better solutions/outcomes
