Good place to start, get out as quick as you can

Business Outlook

Pros

Good entry-level place for graduates to learn about finance. People you work with are all quite good and generally easy to get along with.

Cons

Management is ancient - their ideas are from the 80s which is when most of them got to the roles they've stayed in ever since. Standard working hours are 8-6 which is too long given the salary. Expectation is for even longer hours but pointless given lack of available opportunities for advancement and poor bonus for this extra effort. Most people who've been at the company through one annual review realise this and stop. The problem is the turnaround is so high that the new starters all put in much more hours and the process starts over again....
