Columbia Threadneedle Investments Reviews

Company has announced there will be an requirement to work 4 days a week in the office from September 2025. No work/ life balance and long working hours to work with APAC and EMEA colleagues. 100's of staff have left and there is an lack of experience and knowledge now. Mass redundancies still happening two years after BMO acquisition. Micromanagement from parent company and poor decision making from senior management. Poor culture.

Employees have been asked to come to the office during summer despite government advice to work from home. Furthermore, everyone was asked to start coming in 4 days a week from September with flexible fridays even though Covid is still very much around and our work can easily be done from home. UK bosses blindly follow US approach which does not at all fit UK culture and approach of other similar companies in the UK. If you want flexibility - stay away from this company
