Pros
The people without a doubt are the FCA's greatest asset and reason to work there. There's a great sense of purpose educating firms that try their best and removing those that don't have consumers at the heart of their businesses. Work can be really stretching and interesting.
Cons
The current ExCo quite obviously have an agenda, likely set by the Treasury, despite us supposedly being an independent body. They have no real knowledge of the organisation, the people it employs or what we are trying to achieve. They don't appear to like or care about staff, or each other, and this comes through every time they speak to staff. The level of insincerity they demonstrate is breathtaking! Staff are leaving hand over fist, meaning that those left behind are put under more and more pressure with less and less resource to do the job well. Staff are burning out and the seniors just don't care.
