- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great training program Lovely staff Expenses paid while on client site Opportunities to travel Haven’t a really bad word to say and I try get everyone to join. Just shows work can be enjoyable. Great work culture and HR are always pushing you to continuously develop yourself - not even in a micro managing way either. They actually want you to get the most out of the CPD they provide including external CPD. Honestly can’t fault it and I can say that the Grad program doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and easily competes with the Big 4s Grad Programs
Cons
Can sometimes put you on a project with a difficult client and not help you with it and it’s sink or swim essentially. But this is rare occurance yet to happen to me but has happened to colleagues
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

Cons
Some projects can be boring with no work
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I went through the Interview Stages for a Financial Engineer Graduate Position, however, I declined the job in the end. No Pros
Cons
Interviewed twice, both by HR, and no technical staff was present. I was hired immediately after these interviews. First Red Flag They were very eager to get me to sign the contract, urging me to get it done asap. However, if I had a general question about the contract, I would have to email them at least twice until I got a response. 32,000 starting salary is pitiful for people with a technical degree. Most people in my year are starting on 36,000 and upwards. They were cagey with information, like where I would be based for work. Saying they didn't know.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Well known company with opportunity to sit some external accreditations
Cons
Inconsistent salary across the graduate program with offers ranging from 23-35k for employees with identical degrees and experience. Very boring projects - way too over qualified for the work.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Opportunities to travel, Good benefits, Can work on multiple projects in short space of time.
Cons
Can be tough to settle in one location, salary less than financial institution equivalent.
