Pros: Good hours/holiday/ Great career progression Location is great, sector is also good for future career opportunity

Cons: -Salary uncompetitive compared to competitors in market -Innovation limited in favour of product optimization

Pros: Some great people but quite a lot have sadly already left Maternity / Paternity is very generous

Cons: I don't think I've worked in a company that has worse morale across multiple departments and teams. Senior leaders appear to be constantly shooting from the hip making decisions without accountability. Product making decisions with what seems immediate value is the only consideration. If you want to work somewhere where you're proud of the work you put out Zopa isn't it. Some teams have only associates in them which is embarrassing for a number of different reasons, for me this is the perfect example of how Zopa views your development - they absolutely don't care. Senior leadership extremely out of touch Hit a brick wall once hitting senior 5* star reviews to push back up the rating leaves me even more disillusioned, rather than address most the issues that have been raised senior leaders or newly joined are often pressured to write reviews said 5* reviews - this to me says a lot about the attitudes of the company.

Pros: The office is in a good location. The CEO is a nice guy that is doing a good job in transforming the company into a bank.

Cons: The .NET stack has been neglected in favour of Java/Kotlin rewrites of most services. As a result, several .NET devs have left over the last 12 months. This leaves Zopa in a vulnerable position because the core of the P2P business still runs on .NET. I suspect that the remaining few .NET devs will also check out over the coming months, as better opportunities are available in London. P2P investors/lenders have seen little improvement to the slow user experience and confusing dashboard. This is due to an ongoing controversial rewrite of the investor platform which shows no sign of being complete any time soon. The marketing material is often cringe-inducing!
