Pros
- Only because it is obligatory to write something I would say a benefit inside Ebury are the people you meet but this can be everywhere.
Cons
(1). No bonus for KYC/Onboarding analysts (since March 2019). The bonus is being allocated to externals and compliance to tackle the workload but onboarding deserves it the most. The managers are lying about that to the whole team for months now and trying to say that they are trying to find a solution while there is none. Honesty is a vital key for proper communication. (2). People are leaving all the time - great people. In two months, there were at least 8 people left the KYC/Onboarding team. (3). The whole team is dissapointed because there are continually new changes and the management has no information on what is happening because the decision makers are people higher than him/her. (4). No ability to progress and develop inside the team - you will be pinned down with one jurisdiction and you will bombarded by cases that could only create backlog in short. (5). The company is really facing issues with the risk based approach which is not well defined while the Enhanced Due Diligence is a joke with too much of complexity and not clear training on what is needed. (6). They fire personnel with unfair reasons (at least they respect the law in Spain and compensate accordingly those who are fired). (7). Probably you will have to call the clients yourself. The company is doing really bad from the front office perspective currently so they are trying to allocate responsibilities to the KYC/Onboarding analysts, pretending that this is part of their obligations - which is not.
