Pros
The support staff are extremely friendly and helpful. That's it, nothing more to say really.
Kontras
*Working with people with severe ego-complex - their world revolves around who can have a worse life (literally, they compare who had to give more weekends to the job) *Very hierarchy structure - do not fall for the brochure about the botique culture *Colleagues are made to feel bad if they leave for lunch/have any break - employees life literally revolves around staring at a screen *Culture is very dull with the highlight being Friday night drinks at a pub. Additionally, there are drinks on the first Thursday of every month (go here at your own risk, if you go then you are made to feel bad about it) *Be expected to be shouted at and then it being justified because they pay you well (pay is about 10% lower on base than other Bulge Bracket Banks and bonus is 50-60% lower (specially for junior staff)) *Even though training is provided, the entire actual training is on the job - this is completely dependent on your colleagues, who are all suffering from an ego complex *You are given laptops and blackberry - this means you literally have to work 24/7, any holidays are just "working from home"
