Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at IG full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Great location in the heart of the city. Good annual bonuses and fair salaries.
Cons
A lot of incompetent people in the positions they don't deserve to be in. Office politics dominates and there's less 'open' discussions on what they can improve on. Candidates are chosen based on how well they can 'b*ll s*it' rather than their skills and expertise. People who are promoted are also the ones that are very good at manipulating and flattering their managers. It used to be a great company when I joined. Sadly...

Doesn't RecommendI worked at IG full-time for more than a year
Pros
Some of the people there are decent and honest
Cons
No real direction given; no prioritisation of initatives and instead an expectation from middle and senior management to do everything with zero compromise, regardless of the pressure and stresses that places upon employees. Lead to so many evening and weekend shifts with little recognition or thanks. The only people to progress/remain unscathed are ones who were there in the 'good old days' years ago and are therefore...
