      Boring day to day

      Ppi complaint handler
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A four day working week Flexible hours at times Don't take your work stress home with you Pension is good

      Cons

      Tedious work the same most days Poor management, managers have no idea about their staff or how to forward plan As stated by other reviews, the ICT systems are atrocious, hours a week wasted on computer crashes, frustrations when this isn't taken into consideration with your productivity targets. Out of date by about 10 years, embarrassing. Harsh divide between temporary staff and permanent staff.

      Don’t work here if you have other options

      Investment banking analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global organization leads to cross border collaboration with diverse teams. Experience working on cross-border M&A transactions. The company enforces a mandatory 2 week vacation period each year where you aren’t allowed to login to your computer.

      Cons

      Very weak investment banking practice and minimal deal flow (especially in M&A), yet analysts and associates are still working 80-100 hours every week. Inexperienced, incompetent mid-level bankers. Terrible technology. Terrible company culture (especially in M&A group). Extremely office politics. No concept of work/life balance.
