Pros

Great development opportunities in terms of training and on the job experience. Excellent place to start a career and great work life balance.

Cons

Relatively slow organisation, but depends on business line you are in. Traditional thinking in terms of skills development, i.e. very much focussed on detailed industry skill development, generalism has become less appreciated. Young professionals are not really supported in by means of trainee programs, job progression or otherwise managed exposure.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
