Pros

City centre location Health insurance scheme

Cons

Overwhelming sales growth with devastating and aggressive cost cuts which is driving good people out. Risk teams seem to be for 'appearances' only. In the industry a long time and have never witnessed a model like it. Poor salary, poor annual leave (22days), poor pension, poor work life balance Toxic atmosphere and arrogant senior management. Promotions and pay depends on your likeability factor. Pretend to flatter their egos and entertain their nonsense. It worked for me! Amateurs and clearly bluffers, stone age systems, cheap computers, cheap printers, embarrassing IT helpdesk, company is ruled by sales talkers who have no concept of reality or how to run a business. No staff are replaced, promotions are annual with little to no wage increase. Bonus is no more than a few percent even if you're one of the chosen ones. Small kitchen with a microwave and fridge and seating for a few people people. Options are eat at your desk or eat out every day. Agree with other reviews, very limited toilet facilities for a few hundred people.

Pros

There are good people throughout the organization who genuinely want to do quality work and support one another.

Cons

My experience was that Apex Group prioritized short-term cost savings (involuntary terminations) over investing in its people's on-the-job training, promotion opportunities, compensation & bonus pay, and morale/culture Turnover was significantly higher than I expected, particularly in key functions and at the Functional Head, Regional Head, or C-Suite level Prospective employees should carefully review their offer letter regarding probationary period-related employment notice periods & benefits eligibility (you can only enroll in the 401K once you've worked there for 3 months) During my time there, employee morale was low. Progressions/promotions, as swell as compensation growth and bonus opportunities were minimal due to frequent pressure to 'do more with less,' leading to voluntary resignations, employee burnout, and client attrition due low quality service If you are interviewing, I would encourage you to ask direct questions about probationary notice period, turnover, and leadership changes in the last year Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone works at this firm
