Pros

- young crowd and will make lots of friends very quickly who will help/support you through thick and thin for many years to come - tech vibe, open floor plan, easy-to-approach senior management - very structured work day and clear idea of what is expected of you; easy to succeed if you are good at following instructions - abundance of resources to self learn about a variety of different topics - great employee benefits and perks

Cons

- inflexible schedule, in Analytics your schedule is literally clocked by the hour; your badge-in and badge-out time is recorded and shown on your bio page - mediocre middle management - you will get very bored with the structured day after a few years and the alternative is zig-zag career progression - if you want to feel like a market participant, this is not the firm for you -- most market players don't take Bloomberg very seriously

Pros

Nice pantry, free food; Great place to meet young talents from all over the world; Salaries and benefits are good as a graduate role; Quick and supportive visa sponsorship for those who really want to stay in the UK

Cons

*I have read all the stories in the reviews of Analytics, and sadly every single incident mentioned is true. I recommend all the candidates read the piece of review titled "Analytics- the joke of jokes". That's a good example-think carefully before you decide to join. Too much politics; You get bullied until 1) you quit 2) you grow into the same kind of devils and then bully others; The micromanagement there is insane: 1) you get asked 20 questions of what exactly your sickness is if you feel sick and want to leave work at 5.30pm which is only 30 mins earlier. Of course after all that battling you will finally get some empathy at 5.45 and go home! 2) careful with everything you write down in the chatting system and emails- they are watching. 3) let along they watch when exactly you enter and leave the office, how many minutes you have left your desk, and whenever whoever wherever of everything!
