Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic support for continuing education, excellent location, interesting work, good benefits package inc private healthcare, open pay reviews, clear bonus structure. Supports the community and encourages involvement with local schools and charities. 10 week training program to get you up and contributing the minute you join your team.

Cons

Long Hours, High Pressure, Atmosphere occasionally can seem unsupportive, uses in-house tech rather than common architectures/databases, which can be frustrating to some. Not ideal if you are more interested in Quant-style work, or disinterested in the finance industry.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers, lots of opportunities to meet great people, fancy offices, interesting areas of research, great stepping stone for other career opportunities, lots of opportunities to steer one's own research and career

Cons

Uncompetitive compensation, squirrely HR, part of a huge company run by really old people who don't abide by modern design and usability standards, people work like they're at a bank and talk like they're at a bank and serve bankers as clients but are payed like NGO employees
