      Morale in the gutter due to poor leadership decisions

      Research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not very many to speak of. Coworkers can be nice enough. Work is interesting.

      Cons

      Exit opportunities and career progression is poor and training is deprioritised. As other reviews have said - senior management installed by current PE is focussed on gutting the business rather than improving it, so products and staff morale are continually declining. Avoid working here in all teams at all levels, the recent past was bleak with very little indication of improving.

      Consistently pay bellow market average but want above average performance

      Pros

      People you work alongside are genuinely lovely and supportive. I have been at the London office for a while and this has always been true

      Cons

      Bottom line they pay well bellow the market average and HR and management will stop at nothing to make sure you do not get the salary you deserve. Moreover there is only one promotion cycle per year
