Pros

Fantastic brand and market reputation. Dynamic company with deep pockets able to effect changes in personnel and product at short notice. Great office facilities, attractive work colleagues.

Cons

Increasingly confused compensation scheme. Seemingly reluctant to reward individuals for short term performance, loyalty and adherence to company values recognised above all else. Decision making overly autocratic and New York centric. Inability of middle management to question decisions passed down from above or think outside of the box.

Pros

Company name on the CV Some financial market training Nice and overquilified colleagues Young environment Newly designed office and tropical fish collection Free food and drinks Insurance benefits

Cons

Low Salary and Bonus Management are too young and without previous managerial experience or job experience Long hours: 8 am - 6pm, you cannot arrive late or leave the office earlier You are constantly monitored and your work is controlled You are pushed to work really hard and to multitask You are not important, anyone can quit and be replaced very easily Most of the people leave the company after the first year Open planned floors with no natural light There is no career progression as such, it is all about customer assistance The company culture is too strong, especially in the first few weeks Sometime you are obliged to work during weekends and public holidays Old computers and screens Some positions involved too much travelling : 3 weeks out of 4 per month

Pros

good benefits, doesn't fire many people during crisis, resilient to financial downturns, useful training, great young environment, perfect place to meet new people

Cons

bad management, even worse communication, claim to have a flat management but it's not true instead quite hierarchical, often messy, not very organised, few opportunities to grow, cannot keep bright people in, a lot of mediocre people
