Pros

A great company to work for. The culture is fantastic and the work is truly interesting and often cutting edge.

Cons

Can be hard to be promoted due people being entrenched in the higher positions, and often wages are not always the most competitive when comparable to the market in certain roles.

Sells US business then gives £25million to shareholders

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It was fun while it lasted

Cons

Today Funding Circle announced its selling the US business because even though it’s forecasted to make a profit, it’s too expensive to invest in. So, it will focus on the UK instead… by giving £25million to shareholders because the market undervalues the company. That’s £25,000/employee When someone asked what’s the impact of the company being undervalued, we’re told it feels better and more fun to work for a company that is not undervalued by the market. Our office has posters saying 90% of people are worried about money, and that financial advice is available. But we have to pay for it. It would be comical if it weren’t so sad
