Pros

1. The company is trying hard to develop and retain its people, which is a great thing. In Shanghai office, we have a whole set of training that equip you with different work skills, we also have on- job training provided by senior level colleagues (who are all very helpful and supportive) and we occasionally invite expert to give speeches that let you have a general idea of certain industries. You can always find ways to learn about different stuff here. 2. The people here are bright and fun to hang out with (some of my colleagues actually became my really good friends). Most of us share overseas background and similar interests, so we really got along. Some of the colleagues here I met are truly intelligent and resourceful! 3. If you work in operation i.e. "Connection", your monthly bonus can be very good if you work very efficiently and dedicatedly.

Cons

if you work in operation, the hours can be very long sometimes. the learning curve is steep in the first 2 months, and the work can be repetitive afterwards. Different teams has different degree of difficulty

Pros

- Great place to start out right after college. The people are great and a lot of emphasis on (soft) skill development. - Fast growing company, lots of opportunities for fast internal advancement, also a good way to get to know clients in the financial services industry (Private equity, investment consulting, hedge & credit funds) - Recent changes (started Jan 2018), reduced the performance-based elements (more stable income, less focus on only numbers) - Benefit package very suitable for the generally young (21~25yrs.) workforce. Recruitment process and training well streamlined.

Cons

- Company slowly maturing, with changes in Jan. 2018 still in an early stage but most likely going to result in fewer advancement opportunities. (ie. external recruitment of managers, set minimum-tenure for promotions) - Still a performance-score based company at its core. Not suitable if you can't or won't focus on the items which improve your score. - Overtime not required or encouraged but a feature of client expectations in general. As a very client-oriented company, and with client account responsibility (given after 3-6 months at the job) - you'll feel the pressure to stay late. - Before changes in Jan 2018 - lots of turnover in every starting cohort (up to 50% leaving within first 6 months). Most leave do due to bad fit or demoralised by consistent low scores (which can be very much driven by bad-luck!). - Luck unfortunately still plays a huge role in the job - the latest changes (bonus on quarterly basis, higher fixed wage, performance reviews over longer period of time) - have reduced the negative impact. But where good luck has a huge upside, it pushes up the average and thus makes average luck = bad luck.
