Pros

Decent for a first job after uni. The overall culture is good and the office is young.

Cons

Too much emphasis on targets, creates a negative work environment. Will have to work longer than 5:30 if you want a good commission Managers in charge can be overbearing and emotionless.

Horrible Industry

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of my coworkers were nice. I left after a couple of months.

Cons

The industry as a whole is shady. Shady clients and minimal vetting both with advisors and clients' requests. Strange morals in this company. The industry is based on essentially brokering other people's expertise while trying to make a commission. No "market research" going on at all. Insider knowledge seems welcome. Titles are superficial, and technology is out of date.

Fantastic company culture

Business Outlook

Pros

The London team is upbeat, motivated and friendly. The culture is very supportive and it is a great place to learn, especially as a first job. The managers are always eager to help nurture younger associates, and the associates are a fun, energetic group of individuals to work with. The company supports quick upward mobility - if you are there for 1 year you are likely to be promoted to the next position (if earned).

Cons

The day to day activities related to work can be monotonous at times, but the gratification of hitting targets is motivating. The drive to hit targets can sometimes encourage working late - but there is no expectation to do so.
