Cons

Client expectations are very high which creates high demands on client facing employees.

Advice to Management

Continue to invest in products and people.

Pros

The people are some of the greatest

Cons

The SSC buyout feels like watching your child stuck in a mine where you stand by and just watch while your child dies and you can't do anything to save them, they just die a slow ish death

Pros

- Sponsorship for qualifications - Complimentary snacks and drinks - In office games tables - Generally friendly, sociable and approachable people Unfortunately, the cons significantly outweigh the pros and this can be seen through constant flow of people leaving (at all levels).

Cons

- Total compensation is below market with no intention of being addressed - Apathetic to losing valuable people - Low morale throughout client services which is further accentuated through Execs deploying counterintuitive programmes (Removal of bonuses at most levels, deferring annual review process and not backdating salary increases and bonuses awarded to the few fortunate enough to receive) - Limited meritocracy which...

Advice to Management

Avert your eyes from the IPO and focus on the people; reward them, put faith in them and they will build you a sustainable business. Realise when you dilute a product/ service so much that it is no longer premium and the taste will see staff, clients alike leave.

Pros

Eze was a vibrant, thriving company when I joined. That was a long time ago. You learn to deal with tough personalities . This includes clients and often colleagues. You learn about the fintech market. Although most of the knowledge is non-transferrable

Cons

Where to start? The bonus structure or lack of that was sold as a 'employee driven change. If Eze had been open or transparent this would have been easier to swallow rather than being dressed up and shoved down employee's throats.

Advice to Management

Take Eze back to the company it was. The things that made Eze successful a d such a great place to work have been diluted and drained away.

Pros

1. The people - the talent, open communication and less beurocratic. 2. Learning - opportunities to learn are endless. 3. Compassionate - not normallyhow you would describe a firm in a competitive sector, your welfare is cared for and you do fee being sacked for being ill.

Cons

1. Remuneration - along way to go to be competitive with other firms. 2. Work levels - very busy which is good but levels can be overwhelming.

Advice to Management

Eze is a good environment to work and the right people but reality is compensation for the work and dedication should be fairer

Pros

-Great colleagues (although everyone is leaving now)

Cons

-Extremly incompetent management -Staff are overworked -Little to no training given to new starters -No one cares about your career /progression. You are made to feel like a work horse most of the time - Unprofessional management -Extremly disorganised -Poor moral (that management is doing nothing about)

Pros

Good benefits, smart staff, beer on Fridays

Cons

Top down management structure, changes made without considering impact on employees or clients. Progression based on tenure rather than skill - promotions every three years. Pay far below industry standard

Pros

* A good company to get exposure to the hedge fund industry and the software industry * A lot to learn * Met some of the brightest, most intelligent and engaging people and life-long friends * Free snacks and beer time on Fridays

Cons

* Leaders do not care about employees * Leaders do not know what they're doing * HR has no idea what its doing * Pay less than industry standard * No career growth * No feedback given by management (positive or negative) * No diversity

Advice to Management

Start caring about the people that work for you, instead of bodies you can replace with the next round of interviews.
