Pros

Lots of exposure to the financial markets and a wonderful benefits package. Lots of smart coworkers and dynamic personalities walk the halls

Cons

Extremely political work environment and conflict is tolerated and evenly tacitly encouraged. The bonus structure had to be reformatted because 2009-2010 was so bad.

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.
