Pros

I had a great team behind me and they were extremely helpful. The work was challenging but i learned a lot from it and will hold it with me for ever. Very good place to start your financial career. Could not recommend high enough for a beginner.

Cons

Only fault was the fact that i was only working in back and middle office, i would of loved to try experience front office but unfortunately this wasnt available for me.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
