Constantly being left in the dark: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Client Facing Role en GC Partners

Some of the people were decent to work with. Office location is pretty good.

Oh, where to even begin? The firm were desperate to grow at any cost. Hiring standards fell to zero, leading to some absolute headcases joining the business simply because they were available. The only people willing to hang around were senior managers on massively inflated wages, or recent grads who don't have enough career experience to realise how bad things were. Several backstabbers in management, openly speaking in the office about how they're trying to make life difficult for other departments. Total organisational incompetence on a day-to-day basis. Payroll missed several times, years of financials filed incorrectly, a tech stack that was 20 years out of date. IT was outsourced to a firm with different operating hours - having trouble with your laptop ahead of an 8:30am call? Tough luck, IT support doesn't being until 9.

The staff, entry level and slightly above were great to work with. Office is nice, but always empty, as leadership fail to lead by example and are hungover "WFH" on a Friday (not online until 11 am). This can be viewed as a pro as some leadership only got in the way.

1. Three of the executives do not have external experience in running a company, one in particular should not be an executive as the business performance decreased under their stewardship. 2. The company lost their products (as determined by the FCA) which restricted incentives for staff and there was zero compensation offered. Staff lost part of their salary because of the management's inability to manage cash, and then staff were lied to about the restriction. 3. There are too many cash "kick backs" for internal staff to put on a brave face, instead of fixing the underlying problem. Some of these reviews, those that are obviously too positive, are a testament to that. 4. The technology failings of legacy equipment leave too much room for error such as missed payments, mis-allocation of client funds, lost client funds, forward contract positions not closed correctly and the client wearing the loss, and breaches of sensitive client data to external third parties such as affiliates.
