Business Outlook
Pros
There is an international mix of co-workers who are also social outside of work. It's a good place to learn the ropes, and they sponsor professional qualifications such as the CFA and IMC.
Cons
Career progress is slow and there is no obvious talent management strategy aside from fairly vacant presentations etc. I found that promises made by senior management of my division were not stuck to, and similarly more immediate managers are not empowered to take decisions - the asset management division is a very top-down micro managed organisation. I wouldn't have stayed for as long without the GFC making moves risky and tricky.
