Pros

An AMEX with unlimited spend on business trips - which they will make you do a lot of unless you are on the helpdesk or get one of the coveted London based roles which are like gold dust

Cons

No career development No learning - unless you consider fixing BBG chat a skill set Micro Management on steroids - the time you walk in and leave the office will be on your internal profile for the world to see and they will make sure you’re aware you were 1 min late to work when you swiped in at 8:01 Ridiculous Travel expectations (3 days every week) to clients who really don’t want to see you because you already fixed their BBG chat last week If you refuse the travel then you are moved to a sub par role in a non exciting area of their business, typically the help desk, but fear not - Many of the help questions are about turning on/off sound alerts on BBG chat so you will be well equipped to help customers

Not really cons, culture is great.

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.
