Pros
IG is a fantastic place to work and develop as a marketeer. The sector is fast paced and as the markets move every second, there are always opportunities to develop content and engaging campaigns. IG is also a company that enables you to progress. Although, unfortunately, I was only at the company for a short space of time - I was presented with a number of career development opportunities. The future is... bright for IG Group and I wish my ex-colleagues all the best on the exciting journey ahead.

Pros
Great working from home opportunities (1-2days/week) Chilled atmosphere Amazing teams and colleagues Lot of social events (monthly office drinks, board game nights, etc) Improving tech stack
Cons
Company is business driven, not tech driven
Advice to Management
Let the tech and business/product sides of the company be equal parties, allow more time for tech renovation and let the tech dictate the deadlines rather than the business.

Pros
- Good money, for those who are willing to work hard - Promotions available for those that show promise - 'modern'/relaxed/fin-tech culture coupled with the excitement of a large trading floor - Biggest and most respected trading firm - if you're gonna work in retail trading, with is by far the best firm!
Cons
- Commission/sales-schemes are reviewed yearly (at the very least!), so forever changing 'rules' - Industry going through some tough times in terms of new regulations (IG best positioned to deal with these changes, however - compared to other players in the market)

Pros
Imagine after all the training and development from school and uni, your next adventure is a workplace that's a university for self development. This is IG. Whether you want to learn about tech, finance or leadership, IG offers opportunities to learn it all in your day-to-day job. While IG has become a large and professional corporate business, we still feel as if we're in a medium sized srartup, changing the world.
Cons
Financial regulations and auditing processes can introduce barriers to our acceleration
Advice to Management
How can we invent and innovate more?

Pros
- Free Fruit, tea, coffee, etc - Nice people and a relaxed atmosphere
Cons
Where to start is the biggest question in my mind... Here goes: - Misleading job title; you do NOT do any sales and no trading. A more appropriate job title would be "customer service representative". - Lack of progression, though, from what I hear this is something they're attempting to change though not entirely sure how effective it will be with everyone wanting to move from the department. - Lack of... direction with the business with only one arm making any money and the rest being used for some insignificant cross-sell. - Political culture - Terrible management. - "Head of" title being given to everyone under the sun. All in all, an awful experience. This role is a 2-year role MAX if you're a fresh grad and desperate for a job. Don't go into this company if you are looking for a career.
