Pros

During my time on this programme I have been pushed to my limits and discovered skills and attributes that were previously hidden. For those leaving University wanting to work for a company that offers early career progression, the opportunity to earn impressive remuneration that is uncapped and work in some interesting and dynamic cities around the world, this is the perfect programme for you. The company culture is very much that of rewarding your for hard work and encouraging you to progress in terms of qualifications, targets and overall understanding of what is a fast paced and constantly changing industry. I am very happy with the programme and feel part of a company that is as enthusiastic about my career as I am.

Cons

This is not for the faint hearted. Although the company does offer high earning potential, early career progression and the opportunity to work abroad, they have very high expectations from you. If they feel you are not giving 100% they WILL let you know. You can at times be expected to work long hours. During the Malta Academy phase, you can expect to start work at 6am. This is due to differing time zones. Although the opportunity is far from exclusive to those with a financial background, you are expected to be a quick learner. You need to arrive, learn and add value almost immediately. If you are not naturally motivated, self sufficient and thick skinned you may struggle. At some stage you will definitely be out of your comfort zone. I have been multiple times. The role is extremely front loaded. i.e. it is very difficult at the start but gets easier overtime. You will likely doubt yourself and your abilities at some point during the first 6 months. If you have high career ambitions but are unable to match it in terms of work ethic and determination, don't waste your time.
