Pros
The view from the Gherkin if quite nice. Free coffee.
Kontras
The ION Mid-Market Treasury department consists of a number of companies bought out by ION and put under the dubious management of one of the former managers. This leads to a distinct bias to their original team/product. Even then, they left in droves. Most managers appear to have no clue about people management, and very little business sense either. How top managers can spend so long deciding the colour or font size of a web app is beyond me, considering the technology beneath has many fundamental flaws that need addressing first. Yet again it seems to be the situation where anyone with a bit of power uses that to further their career, or cover up their incompetence, rather than to help make the products better. When your manager ignores you when arriving in the morning, but gladly welcomes other favoured co-workers, you know you're not going to get a good review. Having had downright lies added to appraisals doesn't help. If you're willing to publicize anything you do (regardless of how disastrous it turns out to be) the management will probably be too stupid to realize it wasn't a good thing, and reward you with a pay rise, while asking you to keep quiet about it.
