Great place to learn about the markets; autocratic leadership; best for straight out of college students
Pros
- Great financial software products - Steep learning curve - Exposure to wide range of financial institutions - Opportunities to interact with high ranking clients within the financial institutions
Cons
- Job satisfaction is entirely dependent on your immediate team leader. Management is inconsistent resulting in great discrepancies in working arrangements and day to day work ethics. - Very difficult environment for self-motivated, more senior individuals. Management can micro-manage to the point of absurdity. - Exceptionally numbers-driven. - Not the place for a self-motivated, experienced hire who wishes to think for him/herself, occasionally make his/her own decisions, conduct his/her day in a way he/she feels fit. - Unfriendly sales floor - everyone is focussed on watching his/her own back.
