Pros

Look after staff and good learning ground. Encourage out of the box thinking and cross divisional discussions and referrals. Very informative intra company presentations

Cons

Low basic salary relative to competitors with potentially large, but not guaranteed bonuses. Flat management structure is great for quick decisions but not for aspirations

Pros

Sink or swim culture so you learn a lot Staff shares Sponsored studies Central location Canteen and restaurant in building

Cons

You are stuck in the same role. have to play games to maybe get ahead Low salary and little inventive. You have to work hard and fast in this role but the effort is not worth it If you are black and want to progress to a client facing role it won't happen from the advisor liaison role

Pros

Amazing social life, events, sporting vip seats. Forward thinking management team. Invests it it's people heavily.

Cons

Are ruthless when cutting jobs, new comers are more at risk, if you don't fit in culturally you'll be out the door pretty quick too. Last year all IB staff including front office got zero bonuses. Little or no co-operation acrossd divisions of the bank.
