Pros

Fairly reasonable hybrid policy but it is strictly monitored - could be improved The office building is great, many stations to get to it The employees are nice

Cons

I have personally found that in order for you to do “well” in this company you have to be fairly extroverted, if you are the type to prefer to do your job well and go home then seriously don’t bother. Things like sitting with your team, having lunch with your team are way more prioritised than the quality of your work. You’re constantly being told to make yourself visible to senior management so that you can get more exciting work. It’s definitely forced as they will “kindly” form these requirements into your objectives for the year. You’re constantly expected to over perform socially rather than just focusing on your work. If that sort of thing works for you great but if you’re more on the quieter side it is seen as a downside and will be used against you.

Pros

I never thought I would say this about a job but I genuinely love what I do. The role itself suits me perfectly and I love tbe atmosphere around the building. Since moving to AJ Bell, I have been shown great training, leadership and a shared common goal. I feel apart of the team and not just a cog. Management are all approachable and my colleagues are great.

Cons

Just wish the office was closer to ny house!
