Pros

What you learn on the job, great product, cool offices, great place to learn about the broader markets. Especially as a place to launch your career, it's hard to do better. If you are interested in the markets to any breadth or depth, you will learn far mor in a year here than in two years in the best MBA program.

Cons

There is no clear job progression, and it seems to firm hires a lot of people with little real idea of how they will contribute. The work life balance is tough - long work hours, and the micro-monitoring of employees goes far beyond any other place I have worked for before or since.

Pros

-Very welcoming to new starters, gain responsibility from day one -more holiday days than other companies -Beginning salary in UK for entry level is better than other financial firms

Cons

-Networking skills are more important than proficiency in your work (best people do not advance and get discouraged and eventually leave) -Few opportunities for advancement -No opportunity to negotiate salary change (predetermined) -Management in regional offices seems focused on personal advancement (moving to US) and not on improving the company. US management seems to care much more about the product -Performance measurement focuses to heavily on timeliness and should focus greater on accuracy
