Pros

Decent paycheck and a fancy address—everything else is a disaster.

Cons

Let me tell you, Fractal was something else. Great location, decent pay, but honestly, the management? A total disaster. The culture? Completely chaotic, absolutely no work-life balance. Some of the team? Good people. But a lot of them? Not so much. If you love being handed work at 5 PM and expected to finish by 9 AM, you’ll have a tremendous time. Believe me, it’s an experience. Projects? Short-lived nonsense. One month just to get access, then they’re shelved like a money-laundering front. Management is toxic—talent means nothing if you’re not a professional brown-noser. Everyone’s burning out and bragging about it. Complaints? Good luck. You’re better off shouting into the wind.

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
