Pros
I strongly believe that FX is a forward thinking technology company, built on strong principles and solid objectives that are very much a part of our working culture. In my experience, FX provides a caring, nurturing and safe working environment where everybody is supported to be their best self, and take on autonomy in their role. Feedback is encouraged and actioned, with all members of staff being able to have an impact on FX's ways of working, processes, culture and more. Creative thinking and flexible working are widely promoted and people are supportive of one another in their personal development, be it in their current role, or with cross-department learning and training. An ethos of giving back runs through the company as a whole, with good benefits on offer to employees, a stacked social calendar (though less so during the Pandemic), learning and development budgets for all, and a profit share scheme in place.
Cons
The rapid growth of the company, and onboarding of new clients and colleagues, can make the working week very busy and it can feel at those times like it’s difficult to move forward with strategic work. That said, I think the leadership team is committed to improving the management structures within the business, and initiatives across the company will alleviate any future work spikes, and issues with resourcing and workload.
