    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Bold and high performance, but built on open leadership rather than hierarchy, so you get direct access to senior people instead of working through layers of management. Mentorship and training are structured around your individual development plan, not a generic course everyone sits through once.

    55% of our management team identify as female, 65% of promotions over the past five years have gone into management-level positions, and in 2024 more than 60% of our High Rollers Club qualifiers were women.

    No. 60% of our current employees don't hold a degree. Development runs on our CIPA framework and on what you actually do on the desk, not on where or whether you studied.

    24-hour counselling access sits alongside healthcare and dental benefits, built into the day-to-day culture rather than treated as a separate add-on.
