Pros

Although everything written here can be different depending on the department, at least they are valid for the risk department. Flexibility: as long as you get your job done, it does not matter if you want to take half an hour or two hours for lunch or if you want to take a break in the middle of your day to go to the gym. If you need a day off for whatever reason you will have it. In general, there are not very strict rules, so you can ask for whatever you want to your manager. Of course, you will have to be flexible with the company as well (it is a two-way relationship).

Cons

Sometimes you have got to work very fast to get things done, and work overtime, which is not paid (and this is the flexibility from the employee to the employer).

Pros

A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

Cons

Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.

Pros

the people, they really are a special group and put together they create something special, work becomes fun in both an intellectually stimulating way and also in a way where its ok to have a bit of banter with a few friends

Cons

if you dont fit the image they have of what you need to be they will keep you hanging, they are a bit closed minded as to what a successful person should be and have definately swung too far one way, it will all balance out though
