Business Outlook
Pros
Great office in London Pockets of excellence in terms of people Some very good initiatives being developed and launched Good work-life balance
Cons
Ridiculous 'retention' scheme means that if you leave within 3 years of getting a bonus you have to pay a pro-rated amount back (i.e. leave after 18 months and pay back half). This is ridiculous when you consider that they typically pay well below average. If you have a blackberry, you have to take out your own insurance or replace the phone out of your own pocket. They actually hold people to this. Seriously. I wouldn't mind this so much if the blackberry were a perk, but it's not.
