Pros

Nice office in Canary Wharf, that’s it!

Cons

Too many to list. Horrible work culture with boss and secretary gossiping behind your back about your personal life etc. I was told I’d have career prospects there and opportunities to grow and then was made redundant after 4 months because they hired some ‘know-it-all’ who thought he would be a good idea to get rid of the entire German department. Of course we had been previously assured that there would be some changes but “absolutely nothing to worry about”. Absolute disgrace! If you want to work for a company that does not care a single bit about their employees then this is the place to go! Also, having to rip off clients by increasing the percentage mark up of their exchange rates WITHOUT telling them is highly unethical. Stay away from currencies direct!

Pros

Some flexibility to travel in certain positions. Also able to better serve customers with transparency. Open to creative ideas. Great team training.

Cons

Not forgiving if someone in a sales role has a bad month. Not good for someone without international, sales, or economic experience.
