Business outlook
Pros
People are (mostly) passionate, intelligent and want to do a good job. Nice office in Berkeley Square. Great starting point for research associates on SCB side. Opportunity to take new initiatives.
Cons
Extremely centralised control by NY HQ which disempowers staff in other offices. Ongoing downsizing due to loss of AUM. Poor / thoughtless communications (CEO and rest of team). Not many career opportunities. Limited salary / bonuses for several years.
