Pros

Strong Comms structure Very flexible Unreal incentives Some really genuine and supportive people, some not so much…

Cons

-Great if you “fit in” or are “part of the family” or love football, not so great for everyone else -Lack of diversity and hardly any women or POC in leadership positions which is never a good sign -Not necessarily the most “PC” culture (putting it lightly), jokes and “banter” about protected characteristics and misogyny are not off the table on the open sales floor, usually led by one specific individual -No structured training in place at all apart from brief on-the-job training -Obvious favouritism, specific senior individuals should have been fired years ago but won’t be -Better than a lot of recruitment agencies but still not great

Pros

Working at EC1 Partners has been a great experience so far. The culture is genuinely collaborative, supportive, and high-energy, with leadership that’s hands-on in helping you succeed. The team is ambitious yet down-to-earth, and there’s a real focus on development, transparency, and building a strong brand in the U.S. market. Overall, a fantastic place to grow your career in fintech recruitment.

Cons

High standards and expectations — which ultimately push you to perform at your best. Recruitment can be demanding — but leadership is supportive and invested in your success.

Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

This place is an absolute mess. Unrealistic expectations for success with very little training/support. Turnover is EXTREMELY high. Easily the worst workplace experience in my career.
