Pros
Pre Jan 2017 I would have recommended marketing team to anyone, however definitely one to avoid now. There used to be great rapport between all members of the team, a flat structure where every employee regardless of job title had high levels of responsibility and autonomy. Unfortunately it is now a complete shambles due to poor management. On the whole Investec do value internal culture and this resonates in other areas of the bank so do look elsewhere!
Cons
Lack of direction and process Favouritism used to divide the team Bullying behaviour– team members are regularly put down publically and privately. Management undermines team to key stakeholders and often goes to ruthless lengths to exercise authority. Micro management – gone are the days when you could just get on with your job. Management want to oversee everything yet are never in the office/at their desk, so processes are labored Hierarchical and political Your time is not valued at all by senior management, be prepared for frequent meeting no shows with no apology or explanation Chaotic
