Pros

Market hours (comparatively to other finance roles), nice office, clear career development paths and training, one of the best HR departments I have experienced

Cons

Definitely felt like we were the ugly step-sister to Barclays Capital when it came to investing in the future of the investment platform and business

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
