Pros

Investec used to be a lovely place to work. Very open, you could work autonomously, if you're driven you succeed, nice people, good work life balance.

Cons

Recently it's gone really downhill. I wouldn't recommend anyone joins CIB marketing. There are 3 people left because everyone else wanted to get out. No leadership, back stabbing, no transparency to the business about what's going on, politics and brown nosing to those who are classed as 'more important'. The Investec culture in marketing is non-existent.

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.

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