Business Outlook

Pros

The most meritocratic company I have ever worked with. Possibility for very rapid advancement based only on performance and not prior education etc Good food/drinks and summer parties, although less so with recent cost cutting. Attractive staff and office Lot of potential for learning

Cons

Management has a tendency to change things frequently Once the learning curve flattens out, it´s not so fun Pay levels do not prevent high performing staff from moving to join their clients on the buyside/sellside
