Cons

In the last twelve months, the culture has really deteriorated. If you're thinking of joining, then do your research and speak to people currently here and those that have left. I don't think leaders want to do bad, but the leaders are really poor: lack of emotions, lack of focus on caring, and generally just don't know how to drive performance in a good way. I am in two external processes.

The other thing that no one is really saying is that the equity isn't what you're told. Make sure you understand how the tax really works and what it really means. People are just institutionalised and have all these big hopes to be a big fintech, but we are struggling to cut through despite all the glitzy website and external PR.

Advice to Management

Why have you let the culture deteriorate? Why are people unhappy? Something needs to change.
