Pros

Decent pay, the opportunity to interact with various market players, some training opportunities, bright colleagues, good vacation time, cool office

Cons

Incompetent immature managers, repetitive work, crushing volume, crumbling technology that you must struggle to master, the "knowledge" you gain revolves around bloomberg and has limited value outside the company, constantly changing management objectives seem like desperate gimmicks, endless frustrated dissatisfied clients, very few genuine growth opportunities

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.
