      Pros

      Used to be an enjoyable place to work but it has done a 180 in the last 6 months

      Cons

      Incredibly toxic workplace, full of micro-managers that have extreme favoritism. Do not listen to or implement any feedback given by analysts to try and make the place better. 25% staff turnover rate which is consistent from the last year and is not decreasing any time soon. Feel sorry for new analysts as there's no effort made to try and integrate them at all, they're just left to their own devices as soon as training is done, leading to lower self esteem when mistakes are made. No support and everyone pitted against each other for promotion so it feels like you're all alone.
