Business Outlook

Pros

Strong emphasis on qualifications. Opportunities available to up skill e.g. CFA and other quals if you dig deeper. Nice, very-capable, approachable colleagues and managers. Nice offices (up/down desks as standard). Good location (London), away from City. Ability to take on more responsibilities if capable and willing to work long hours (you may/may-not be rewarded for it). Normal hours (middle office) reasonable. Pay is acceptable, nothing to write home about. Great in-house IT support.

Cons

Reluctance to allow regular WFH schedule. Limited networking culture compared to other places I've experienced. Very routine work. Knowing Germany will help. Culture, doesn't feel like there is one.
