Decent remote flexibility, but poor progression and out-of-touch management
Pros
The main benefit of working at Treliant is the flexibility, particularly for those assigned to American clients, where full remote working is standard. This provides a strong work-life balance and the ability to work independently, however there is talks that this is changing and making office mandatory. There’s also exposure to large, reputable financial institutions and complex financial crime projects, which can help build useful experience. Colleagues at analyst level are generally supportive and collaborative, and the performance review process itself is in-depth and provides helpful feedback, even if it’s not always tied to tangible rewards.
Cons
The holiday allowance is below average at just 22 days, and the pension offering is nothing beyond the basic level. There’s no company-provided parking, meaning you have to pay out of pocket if your team has mandatory office attendance. Pay rises never happen unless you’re promoted, and promotions themselves are difficult to secure. While performance reviews are thorough, bonuses are identical regardless of outcome, making the process feel somewhat meaningless. Career progression lacks clarity, and management often make promises about upcoming responsibilities or opportunities that don’t materialise. The bonus structure is also poorly designed, with 60% paid initially and the remaining 40% only paid if you stay through the end of the year and aren’t on notice. Senior management appear disconnected from the realities of daily operations, and the quality of line management varies greatly, your experience depends entirely on who you report to.
