Pros

SWC has a great team dynamic and is a fun place to work. The management team is also very supportive and does whatever they can to help keep you motivated and provide you with opportunities to grow in your career. You also get to work on some pretty cool high tech projects and be part of a lot of fun activities that take place in the office each week.

Cons

Commuting to work in the winter can be a challenge.

Pros

Good staff canteen at Baker Street and nice building, but not much else ...

Cons

Very high staff turnover in Corporate Finance, clueless and unsupportive partners that distrust each-other, redundancies, very poor opportunities for women (if you're not young, male, English and one of the 'boys', then you probably won't fit in), bullying blame culture (plenty of narcissists around), poor opportunities for interesting work - you mostly deal with small, crackpot companies whose accounts are in a total mess - not great for the CV. Overall a nightmare experience and I couldn't wait to get out of there.
