Pros

Provides learning opportunites and allows career improvement. Senior management are very co-operative and flexible and appreciate hard work put by employees.

Cons

Very focussed on asset management and restricted to certain asset classes depending upon the business unit you work for. Transition between units is difficult.

Pros

Has been a good place to work with diligent and helpful colleagues. Good autonomy. Succesful company which still has growth potential in many areas

Cons

Company has become much bigger and more bureacratic. Current uncertainty over acquisition. Lots of speculative preparation for meeting the new owners

Pros

The business people here are much more decent compared to other financial shops. Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Very slow (if ever) to get rid of "bad" employees. When good employees turn a project around, it's the bad employees who get the recognition thus perpetuating the cycle.
