Easy to join due to high staff turnover but don't stay

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Start on £30k and it's an easy intro to finance. The office is nice and there are great networking opportunities if you get to know the right people in news or sales. If your career goal is to become a manager it's very quick to progress - some people get promotions within a month. Lots of different nationalities within the office too.

Cons

Management is known to be terrible (perhaps for reason above) so turnover rate within the company is very high. Anyone who is intelligent but does not wish to join management tends to leave within 1.5 - 2 years.Due to this the people in each team always have newbies who lack specialist knowledge. Also, the company is hugely bureaucratic which frustrates anyone with any intelligence or strong work ethic.

Great company to work for.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers competitive pay, and a great benefits package that is better than investment banks. There is free food. The people working there are friendly, smart, and generally easy going compared to people at investment banks. More job security than investment banks. Fast paced work environment and some very interesting work. Ability and talent, not seniority, are recognized and rewarded. Training program for new grads.

Cons

The work culture is very unique. Some strict rules. It's much bigger now than 5 years ago and profit sharing are no longer that lucrative. Some of the senior management's decisions are difficult to grasp.
