Pros
The Edinburgh office is a melting pot of nationalities and cultures. This is really enjoyable as it provides a very varied work experience, and from a personal growth perspective, it's the number one reason to choose to work here for me. The company is still young, and the "figure it out" attitude is the everyday mantra. The people make work here easier, and overall enjoyable.
Cons
According to management, there's huge room for growing the company. However, it doesn't appear so clear what that will entail from a personal growth perspective. It seems like the hiring strategy has focused in hiring entry level people across the whole company since inception. Once the company matures, naturally most ambitious staff will start to wonder if it'd be the case to move elsewhere, as the structure at CW seems to be flat, with very little room for promotions and/or improvements. The pay package is tailored to fit a very young and entry level generation of staff, and probably fails to attract most experienced employees, which is probably what's more needed at a time of "switch" to a more mature environment. Parental and remote work policies are definitely not in line with potential competition in Scotland, which is not only limited to Fintech, Software and Investment Management, but also with Banks.
