Difficult environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Some people are entrenched and safe but it's not an innovative of invigorated environment. There are some good people, but relatively few. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Technology is fragmented and generally unpleasant. There is limited mobility and a lot of bureaucracy. Very much a clubby environment, not somewhere for innovation of growth. It's purely old money management. Unless you're an equity researcher, it's not the place to be.

Business Outlook

Pros

As a small to mid company you have hands on training. A lot of learning and enhancements of skills throughout the way.

The workplace can become stagnate and you can only go so far. To advance into a managerial position, it takes a lot of years and a lot of patience.
