Business Outlook
Pros
Its a relaxed place to work, considering they are in financial services, and people are very relaxed. The environment is positive and everyone is very nice. You get a free lunch, and a number of benefits, such as a laptop etc. The work is interesting.
Cons
There is alot of internal politics. People who've been with the firm for long are favored, and not always the best performers. The levels of knowledge in finance, which is supposed to be the core business of the company, is very low, and the majority of people are the 9-5 types who can't go for a beer because they need to feed the cat. Very few ambitious people, but one gets the feeling that thats what is preferred, and is reflected in the salaries, which stagnate once you join.
