Pros

-Very welcoming to new starters, gain responsibility from day one -more holiday days than other companies -Beginning salary in UK for entry level is better than other financial firms

Cons

-Networking skills are more important than proficiency in your work (best people do not advance and get discouraged and eventually leave) -Few opportunities for advancement -No opportunity to negotiate salary change (predetermined) -Management in regional offices seems focused on personal advancement (moving to US) and not on improving the company. US management seems to care much more about the product -Performance measurement focuses to heavily on timeliness and should focus greater on accuracy

Pros

Fast paced atmosphere. Everyday is different. You have the opportunity to be creative. The one thing you have to remain true to is that you cannot maintain an inexpensive product and be able to service your clients well.

Cons

Rates are a race to zero in these markets. Many firms are looking for the absolute cheapest way to sustain their business. You dictate how much you want to make but in this economy, firms are shutting down left and right.

Pros

Excellent Benefits Open atmosphere - good way to get to know lots and lots of colleagues, even if you don't work directly with them Beautiful office space Company has young, fresh feeling

Cons

Middle Management - people who made day-to-day decisions - are ill equipped. Talent is not necessarily recognized and/or promoted; "Transparency" is a joke - like any other big company, there is a ton of secrecy Compensation is pathetic.
