Terrible management

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are amazing, the culture is fantastic, the CEO is very visible and incredibly down to earth which drives a really nice culture internally.

Cons

The manager of the Private Client team is manipulative and very unprofessional. She's a self confessed control freak and if you disagree with anything, she makes your life incredibly unpleasant. She has her favourites and if you're not in that category, regardless of your standard of work, she makes the role really unpleasant. Would recommend avoiding that team at all cost.
