Company:

This firm is one of eleven trillion dollar asset managers, what sets them apart is two things:

  • Collaborative culture and true work-life balance

  • What sets this firm out from others in the market is that they see tech as the key driver for the business. For this reason, they have just invested heavily in their front office tech as they look to expand their Engineering presence in London.
