Pros

I cannot think of any. Ah! Nice view from the 18th floor.

Cons

- Support functions are perceived as a necessary evil, with no influence on the business. - Bully boy tactics are used across the board - Very low collaboration among departments - Aggressive culture. Tone-from-the-top nonexistent. - No pension scheme - Large chunk of bonus comes in form of "options/stocks" which can take up to 4 years to redeem.

Great location but only go here if you are in the position to turn things around

Back office employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lovely room overlooking the Thames and the O2 in a beautiful glass fronted office. Peace and quiet guaranteed when required. Nestled in Canary Wharf with great amenities. Given quite a high degree of autonomy in role due inadvertently to lack of senior management oversight. Exposure to a wide range of products.

Cons

Middle and back office with limited awareness of the products they were buying despite spending a substantial amount of money on them. Senior management who had little understanding of the complex regulatory environment they functioned in (or feigned ignorance deliberately) and also do not believe in raising salaries or investing in the training of their staff. Underestimated the importance of key products and were willing to sacrifice them in the altar of profit.
