Pros

Very few but for 'junior' staff the ability to use client contacts/relationships into next role. A very small number of' knowledgeable and friendly staff' who make the place mildly tolerably.

Cons

Do not be mis-lead by the name. This is a broker/boiler-room 'hiding' behind the Mitsubishi name for some creditably. Whilst it can't be denied that they have some high profile clients who 'value' the service and it is a good stepping stone for sales people looking to move from Bloomberg to a career in sell-side sales, the single biggest issue with the company is Management and specifically the CEO. Things like, minimum number of minutes for being on the phone and performance league tables do nothing to dispel the 'call-centre/boiler-room' vibe. All the comments about the CEO and his interview style on Glassdoor are true and if anything do not give a clear indication of just how bad this guy is. If he was in any other institution where he was not the top dog he would have been found out and thrown out within 5 minutes. The atmosphere in the firm is toxic as he has created an atmosphere of fear, and from speaking to staff who have been at the firm for various lengths of time, it seems its the same story if you have been there 6mths or 10yrs years. The Glassdoor reviews are very accurate and I only wish I had discovered, and read, the reviews before I had accepted the opportunity to interview there- let alone work there. AVOID!!
