Pros

Free Drinks Different environment to other offices Left to get on with work if you don't perform will be noticed

Cons

2% salary increase after being there for over 2 years and last year nothing! Not allowed to work from home, as top boss doesn't trust colleagues They say it's not top down structure but do not be fooled by this. The bosses are running you Fake promises for training and trips, nothing actually happens at investec unless your one of the golden boys who gets everything. To many meetings Contractors have the upper hand as they treated like employees, invited to all events etc and paid properly

Pros

Entrepreneur mindset that allows you to grow outside your specific box, if you choose. Supportive leadership in helping you achieve your goals.

Cons

Have to pull for growth, not handed to you. You have to be aggressive and ask for what you need.

Pros

Great work environment and nice management

Cons

there was little training for the intern position, so come prepared with some finance skills, just the basics
