Pros
Working at G-Research has been like a breath of fresh air. You are surrounded by ambitious, driven and talented colleagues (some of whom are genuinely world-class experts in their field), which are contagious traits that drive you to improve. More than this, you have the resources and backing to exceed your goals and have a real impact on the company. The salaries and benefits are excellent, there are ample development opportunities, and the scope of extracurricular activities (including the legendary company weekends away to Europe) is the envy of all my friends. Love my job!
Cons
Historically, I understand there have been some blockers related to security. These are barely noticeable now, continues to improve, and is heavily outweighed by all the other positives. Work from homes opportunities have been limited but, again, are starting to increase.

Pros
They invest in your future - good training budget Happy to invest in technology if they think it'll advance the company Good company culture, works drinks, very social
Cons
Was sold the idea of flexible working, however I don't think this is a company wide issue, within my team it is very locked into sticking to your hours by the minute and no flexibility (work 15 mins longer and take 15 mins extra lunch)

Pros
Great culture, open to new ideas and rewarding of talent. Nice newly renovated spaces and plenty of perks. Annual weekend away, monthly company-wide drinks, regular other events, regular treats around the office. No barriers to communicating with anyone in the company.
Cons
Security has been a big issue in the past but the barriers (both physical and virtual) have rapidly come down over the last 12 months, making the office a much more relaxing environment.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at G-Research full-time for more than a year
Pros
- Talented and intelligent colleagues working towards common goals. - Strong belief that ideas can come from anywhere. - Competitive total rewards packages. - Great socials (including company-paid weekends away) - Central London office locations- it's also an advantage to have everyone based in London as you can easily catch people face-to-face rather than having to rely on calls & emails.
Cons
Previously security measures did sometimes get in the way of processes but, the company is really working to improve this and the positive effects are already coming through.
