Poor Opportunities for Advancement. Networking more important than analytical skills.

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

Many Pros, but Management gets in its own way and in the way of most productive employees

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.

It doesn't matter how well or poor you do

Pros

Good salary. Nice building. Friendly colleagues (for the most part). Free snacks. Open communication.

Cons

You don't know what the REAL project requirements are until they are 3 days from due. Have to work with stupid financial market conventions that make no sense. The code written here is terrible, and nobody have the time to police it.
