      I worked at IG full-time for less than a year

      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.

      I have been working at IG full-time for more than a year

      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.
