Pros
- New offices in Essex Street for the London analysis team are lovely - Always lots going on, new projects, new things to get involved in - Good chance to learn lots as a junior analyst - Nice colleagues
Cons
- Sales led organisation, views of analysis staff tend to come a distant second to the commercial teams - Fast pace of change - while good to have new initiatives, it hardly feels like there is time to focus and digest anything - Autocratic leadership style, strategy comes from top down - Progression beyond senior analyst is tricky, good place to start out, but then move on - Salaries - not great, few raises and many staff leaving after being stuck on the same salary for a long time - Lack of bonus schemes - Poor holiday allocation for new employees (20 days), though this increases over time. Still low by today's standard of 25 days.
