Pros

-Very welcoming to new starters, gain responsibility from day one -more holiday days than other companies -Beginning salary in UK for entry level is better than other financial firms

Cons

-Networking skills are more important than proficiency in your work (best people do not advance and get discouraged and eventually leave) -Few opportunities for advancement -No opportunity to negotiate salary change (predetermined) -Management in regional offices seems focused on personal advancement (moving to US) and not on improving the company. US management seems to care much more about the product -Performance measurement focuses to heavily on timeliness and should focus greater on accuracy
