Pros

The most meritocratic company I have ever worked with. Possibility for very rapid advancement based only on performance and not prior education etc Good food/drinks and summer parties, although less so with recent cost cutting. Attractive staff and office Lot of potential for learning

Cons

Management has a tendency to change things frequently Once the learning curve flattens out, it´s not so fun Pay levels do not prevent high performing staff from moving to join their clients on the buyside/sellside

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
