Business Outlook

Pros

excellent learning curve in the first year, they pay for CFA, if you love coffees and meaningless catch ups this could be a good fit for you

Cons

Politics, US centric company, lack of career progression, lack of energy, incapable managers, the concept of perceived value is valued higher than the actual contributions of employees, if you are an associate you have zero career progression as the company has a clear preference for hiring new MBAs with zero knowledge- tragically the associates are better trained, more knowledgable than new hires and are required to train their managers
