Pros

- great benefits -hours are reasonable - the younger employees are highly motivated and intelligent

Cons

If you have any ability to get a front/middle office role at another firm pursue that. This job is dressed to try and compete with those sorts of jobs but is ultimately just a customer service help desk with very little else to offer (outside of going to sales). - management is made up of people who have been consistently mediocre and reached their position by simply sticking around - top talent is treated poorly and overworked compared to the average - micromanaged to the nth degree - every aspect of the job is measured statistically - management has so much as said that the system is designed for someone to be unable to excel in all aspects of the role. As such compensation is determined by how much your manager likes you instead of your productivity and ability - popularity contest where you are forced to "play the game" with mostly mediocre managers in order to get ahead

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
