Pros

Good location near london bridge

Cons

Very bad management leaders, unrealistic targets and expectations from employees which cannot be achieved practically and they put too much of pressure on teams. Very bad negative work culture, no flexible working. Mechanical working pattern. The team that i have worked with was extremely arrogant, blunt and rough. Had an extremely bad experience, would not recommend at all.

Pros

Interesting work to research. Getting paid to read the news. Working with really smart, well-travelled people, based all over the world. Flexible working opportunities and fine hours. Some travel and research opportunities.

Cons

Overall, appears to rely on working young, smart people hard for a few years to create analysis that more senior members promote and sell. Not a lot of clear training opportunities for younger members. Not great money and really opaque pay and promotion structures. Really high HR turnover and a bit of a member's club mentality means that grievances are difficult to lodge. Managers heavily direct the ethos of their teams. There is little apparent centralised control over them, meaning that their personalities heavily affect their teams working environments, and also how much feedback and training their teams receive.

Not a good company

Pros

Good ground level team work and project management

Cons

Misogynistic, old boy network who works on military rank not commercial experience or qualifications. Senior management takes all the credit and has a blame culture that is in the Stone Age. Promotion or progress is down to friendships and cap badges and that hasn’t changed since I left. Fast staff turn over and dissatisfaction but can get new staff straight out of the military for peanuts so they aren’t bothered

A great place to work

Pros

The opportunity to meet and work with some incredibly intelligent and talented people. A warm and collaborative working environment, where people aren't afraid to be honest with each other. Job dependent, the opportunity to travel to some amazing places. There is no perceived hierarchy; the senior managers are approachable and work closely with their teams.

Cons

It sometimes feels like budgetary restraints are never ending, from managers being unable to hire the candidates they want, to investment in software that would make work easier for a large group, being able to take a team on a nice lunch etc. Some people, managers in particular, might find the constant 'no' response to requests involving financial input frustrating / demotivating.
