Pros

Nice offices and some really nice employees

Cons

Nepotism is rife it does not matter if one is right for the role or not and progression is rapid for people who has a relation who is loaded, Family already works at Investec, or one is South African. They go on about inclusion and diversity but they are way behind other Banks. One team had redundancies and two of the female staff were targeted one to another area ,and one made redundant leaving 5 males and one female in the team.

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.
