Pros

- Easier way to join the financial industry - Salary is not bad for fresh grad - Operations Analysts and Fund Accountants get OT pay, but not for supervisors and above - Chill and friendly colleagues, lots of fresh grads - Provides sponsorship for CFA / CPA but with bond. CPA Australia recognised employer - Foosball tables, dart board and pool table in pantry - Don't have to bring work home. But that also means you will have to complete everything in office

Cons

- Bad work life balance. Very few ops teams are on 9 to 6 shift. There are 9 to 6, 10 to 7, 11 to 8, 1 to 10 and 3pm to 12mn shifts. - Little or no bonus - Workload dependent on capability, the better you are, the more work you get - Communication not transparent - Promotion based more on senority - Newly implemented pay increment scheme applies only to newly joined employees. Unfair to existing employees - Chance of no annual increment, even if you worked for the full year.

Pros

They can provide you with Great learning experience in a very fast paced environment. You learn a lot. It is Centrally located. There's Beer after 5pm. The employees are mostly young people.

Cons

You have to work very long hours. You can not take vacations easily as there is always a ton of work to do. The company as a whole is under staffed. They pay is absolutely minimal which is only good if you live with parents and are a fresh graduate. You feel like a hamster working here. Work work work. There's no work life balance. There is VERY HIGH turn over
