Pros

There used to be some positives, especially around flexibility and work-life balance. However, after the leadership changes and the arrival of the two new CEOs, many of those positives seem to have disappeared.

Cons

The company also removed much of the remote-work flexibility, which was one of the main benefits for many employees. There also seems to be a strong “inner circle” culture, where people in higher positions or close to senior management have more visibility and opportunities than others. Bonuses are relatively small and not very motivating. Career growth opportunities are limited, and it can feel difficult to progress internally.

Pros

They are a global presence and one of the most regulated brokers around, one of the financially strongest too. They do have a very generous 25 days of leave and good employee benefits. Plus your colleagues there are really a fun bunch to be around.

Cons

Because of their flat structure, they don't have a proper career path for you to progress on. You just work and have little metrics to gauge whether you deserve a promotion and even then, there are few positions to get promoted to. You get randomly shifted around from your initial duties you signed up for. They have one of the worst spreads around and participate in very dirty tactics to make money from clients. They would prefer to take care of clients rather than employees.
