      Pros

      Some smart people who work hard. Office ok. Celebrate everyone's birthday with a cake .. Nice touch!

      Cons

      Definately not an agile leadership approach as if you fail fast you are criticised and moved out the business. Toxic environment. The ceo was shipped put of currency cloud for same toxic management style. A work house approach where you are expected to keep upping the pace to allow the ceo to reap the rewards. A business with an old boys network approach to business.

      As CEO and co-founder I am very sad to read this post. We really do wish that you’d have shared this with me in person. Since we don't get to do that, I wanted to share a couple of points here to make sure everything is factually accurate and objective please. Your comment on Currency Cloud is both factually in-correct and defamatory which (we both know) is outside the Glassdoor guidelines. I moved into the Chairman role on 3rd January 2012 to allow Mike Laven to be CEO and run the business day to day (and he still is) as I was living in France at the time and was not able to be in the office full time due to family commitments (this was pre-agreed with my investors during the Series A capital raising process). Also note the earliest Glassdoor review of Currency Cloud was 2018 which was nearly 2 years after I left the Currency Cloud board to found Railsbank (you can reference this in the Business Insider article at the time). You are welcome to validate the above facts with Nick Bourner who you know as a colleague at Railsbank and was my CTO at Currency Cloud or the investors who I am welcome to put you in touch with. Your pejorative comment on the leadership style at Railsbank is also factually incorrect. It is also inflammatory and disrespectful. People and culture are at the heart of what we do. As you know, each week we take the ‘pulse’ of everyone. And that has never been more important than during lockdown when we were all working remotely. We have asked our staff to share their experiences and thoughts through a number of surveys and they actually say quite the opposite from you. I 100% respect your right to voice your opinion, but I would respectfully ask you to do it with respect and objectively. The Railsbank team sends our best wishes for your next chapter.

      Positive experience

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Welcoming and fun environment to be in. Great people to work with and support is there. Learn a lot of valuable skills and gain some good knowledge. Product being offered is genuinely a good offer for businesses and you feel as though you’re serving the community some good. The Founders are fantastic and quite literally no ego is shown from the pair of them. You feel a sense of security here as well, regular one to ones with managers are usually arranged as well to catch up.

      Cons

      No training structure at all, the service we provide is very difficult to understand so it would be appropriate if a training programme is out in place for beginners to understand. I understand that this being worked in though.

      Going to pot because of terrible senior management

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Some great people looking to make a real difference for customers - shoutout to some amazing people in customer facing roles doing a really hard job in difficult circumstances. Functional leads with great ideas, strategic understanding and ability to execute. Working with some really good people.

      Cons

      Leadership resistant to advice, even from specialist advisors in the business.. Cliquey environment makes it difficult for new employees to feel included or valued. Company communications worst I've ever seen. Refusing to answer questions, passive aggressive and defensive when any questions are raised.
