We value your uniqueness
Our culture
Our not-so-secret ingredient to our global success is our people. And they agree. Ask our 2500+ employees what they love most about IG Group, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! We also keep our values and purpose at the heart of everything we do. We believe in financial freedom, and we want to help ambitious people achieve it.
Our values
Champion the client
Creating expiring experiences for our clients is a top priority. No idea is too big or small. All you have to do is stay curious about their wants and needs.
Learn fast together
Even if you fail, fail forward. Talk to your peers, challenge each other, discover new perspectives, and find a better way to do things – together.
Raise the bar
Go the extra mile. Pushing boundaries will help you grow in the ways that matter to you. Use your strengths to rise to every challenge.
Belonging
We’re not your typical corporate. We don’t treat our clients or our employees like numbers. If you want to feel a genuine sense of belonging, there’s a place for you at IG Group.
Places to connect
Our people are independent thinkers who come together to tackle problems with innovative solutions. More than that, we foster a sense of community with plenty of ways to get involved.
Our employee-led networks are a safe space to share experiences and support good causes. Our networks and committees include:
- IGU: champions neurodiverse and differently abled persons, those affected by disability, and advocates for disability awareness
- IG Inspire: focuses on the growth of professional and ambitious women. This group is open to all employees, not just women
- IG Open: supports our people who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those who back the network’s aims
- IG Black: facilitates meaningful connections to raise the visibility and foster career success of Black employees around the globe
- IG PACT: a network that supports parents and carers working at IG and a place for them to share advice and experiences
Our impact
Everyone wants to make a difference. But do they? We do.
We pledge the equivalent of 1% of our post-tax profits to charitable causes. This happens through cash donations and employee volunteering time. Our people get two days off each year for volunteering – giving them opportunities to work with and raise money for any cause they believe in.
Improving the quality of education, specifically financial literacy, is something we’re extremely passionate about. We do this through our Brighter Future Fund – our vehicle for funding community outreach projects – and various partners across the world.
We also care deeply for our planet, which is why we strive to be a carbon neutral business. We’re constantly working to protect and regenerate resources and offset any impact we might make on the environment.
Our commitment to sustainability
Benefits, rewards, and recognition
What you put in is what you get out. We reward outstanding performance with pay and benefits that’ve been benchmarked against (and sometimes outperform) the industry.
Our people get a variety of perks, like an annual bonus, free access to LinkedIn Learning, financing for tech and non-tech certifications (including MBAs), medical and retirement contributions, additional leave (like a day off on your birthday and two days off for volunteering), events that support your wellbeing, an employee assistance programme, a host of socials and parties – and much more. Just keep in mind that your specific extras will depend on your location.
Work in a way that suits you
We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection. Our offices accommodate our diverse styles of work, too, and include agile spaces, quiet rooms, and breakout areas.
