Pros

Easy interview process Faster to get through interview process into a finance institution compared to normal interview process (no assessment centers usually).

Cons

Basically just a recruiting company that places you at a finance institution in a grad like position, but takes a cut of your pay Poor pay compared to those in similar position around you Legal minimum annual leave, skilled professionals need more time off than 20 days per annum. Management has little concern over alumnis well-being or progress Stitch you up with a contract stating you have to pay £5k to £15k if you leave within 2 years Contract has a (non-legal) generic no-compete clause stating you cant work in finance or ANY software company if you leave the company in the 2 year contract Training delivers no useful skills and leaves you coming away with less knowledge than if you had just read a (small) programming book for beginners.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review here on Glassdoor. My first impression on reading your feedback, where you have indicated that you are a current Alumni employed by MThree on our programme, is one of sadness. As I hope you have witnessed, the whole point of the Alumni programme is to manage our graduate’s progress through the two-year programme and to make sure every Alumni Associate’s well-being is being monitored. The Programme’s goal is for all our Alumni to either convert to the client they are working with or to stay with MThree as an Employed Consultant. We are not a recruitment Company. The training as you know, is an intensive 8-week period covering the specific software and coding language(s) your client uses. It is disappointing to hear you did not get the value out of the training that many other Alumni graduates have. This is reflected by the fact that 97% of all our Alumni who complete their two-year placement convert to one of our clients. We are proud of this record and the way the Alumni programme propels graduate's careers. Regarding all Alumni’s pay and conditions - historically we have used a training bond to make sure that the 8 weeks of paid training we provide all our Alumni prior to deployment, is not taken advantage of. Our pay structure and employee benefits are extremely competitive, with your salary after two-years as an Alumni being higher than the average salary of a Software Engineer in London (Non-Graduate). I have started to address some of your feedback points above, however, in order to continue this conversation in a positive and professional manner, with the hope of us improving our programme. Please reach out to me as soon as possible so we can meet to discuss in further detail. Thanks Thomas Seymour Head of HR

Pros

- Great opportunities with annual benefits and perks - Paid training with free coffee/fruit - Staff at Mthree are friendly and easy to get along with - Meet like minded fellow alumni and make a lot of connections - 24 hour access to the office - Mthree events hosted fairly regularly

Cons

- After the initial month of training, the communication between the alumni and Mthree staff seemed to diminish and left a few alumni feeling ignored - Although the training was overall good and comprehensive, it could be tailored to account for the varying skill levels across the alumni (i.e: the pace of the learning at times felt slow, and should have included "challenging" exercises for people that have a more technical background)
