RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at FNZ full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
FNZ is the industry leader in its field globally and is an amazing company to work for. I have been in FNZ for over 8 years and have been given the opportunity to grow my career and help to shape what the future of FNZ looks like. This is something that is very rare in business in modern times so if you are looking to really drive your career and put all your energy into it, then you will be rewarded and recognised for that commitment. FNZ is a fast paced place to work and yes there can be long hours involved depending on what projects or roles you are involved in but this allows you to really stamp your mark on the work you undertake. The company is very flexible and has a very clear commitment to supporting its employees through good times and bad, so for example, there are wellbeing sessions including yoga and breathing / mindfulness sessions weekly to support mental health. FNZ is a large family , you are not just a number as is the case in large corporate environments and everyone looks out for each other and willing to help when required. I always wondered in 2020 if i could find a "job for life" and in FNZ i have found my "employer for life".
Cons
Working hours can be long yes, but the very fact you can drive your own career path turns this from a con into a pro.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at FNZ full-time for more than a year
Pros
- A very fast-paced enviornment. This is definitely not a career path for everyone. However, because it's such a fast-paced environment you can learn a lot of skills in a short space of time. - Overtime pay (even for graduates). - Direct SQL work (although you are often given the responsibility of teaching it to yourself).
Cons
- The volume of work does not decrease. The prevailing message across teams is that "things will get better", yet it does not happen. Team members leave and are not replaced, and because the company is so focused on acquiring other companies, the volume of work only increases. - Everyone in the company is too busy to train others. Training plans do not exist, and it could even be that someone who joined the company a few months ago is given the responsibility of teaching a new-start. - No induction for graduates. - A real lack of forward-planning.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at FNZ full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Fast paced and varied work. Lots of interesting projects, and with a broad role remit on all roles you get to have the opportunity to learn technologies and how the financial services world works at a detailed level. The people make FNZ a fantastic place to work. People are supportive and helpful. Being part of a good team really helps when the work gets tough, and the satisfaction of delivering big platforms after a long journey is really great. Opportunities for career progression are exceptionally good at FNZ, and it's a great place for career growth and learning new skills.
Cons
It's not a 9-5 job. Overtime and weekend work is common. Personally I don't have an issue with that aspect, but for some people this will be a challenge.

First of all thank you for taking the time to comment. We really appreciate your balanced opinion and your suggestions on areas where we can improve. It's really pleasing to hear you call out some of the positive elements of your role at FNZ. This certainly is consistent with much of the feedback we hear from colleagues across the business. It’s also worth noting that these opportunities will remain very much in place as we continue to grow and develop the business moving forward. As you mentioned, it is hard work at times, as is the case with most successful fast growth companies, but highly rewarding for those who seek to challenge themselves and progress their careers. As always, we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss any of your feedback with you further. Thank you again.

Fast Paced and growing company, so a very interesting place to work. Young and modern culture so as a graduate I found it easy to fit in. Great balance between well structured training and being given independence.
Cons
Occasionally longer hours expected, however these are accounted for in pay.
