Pros
Amazing colleagues, some of the best people I've ever met.
Good place to learn, exposure to finance and different corporate structures/sectors and how they work etc.
Performance bonuses are great IF targets are met.
Nice office with drinks
Cons
Not for the easily-overwhelmed.
Tight deadlines, high pressure, micromanagement, toxic environment. More is always expected even when smashing targets, no room for error.
Probation period feels like a scam, employees are taken off probation once management decides. Not mentioned during interview process.
Limited career opportunities within compliance departments.
Leadership severely lacks experience and very unprofessional. Also lacks oversight, resulting in frequent power-trips rather than providing guidance and support.
Feedback and 121's are inconsistent, one-sided and rarely constructive.
Frequent rule changes with little to no explanation behind decisions.
Favoritism culture- promotions and recognition often go to friends of leadership rather than deserving hard-workers, Strong employees are often undervalued and overlooked.
Parking sucks.
