Pros
Good exposure to trading environment to form solid understanding with training offered and access to courses, generally ok work-life balance in comparison to competitors, broad spectrum of career opportunities, better than average pension and health insurance schemes plus other benefits (cycle scheme, child care vouchers), company bonus
Cons
Uncompetitive salary in comparison to market rate, junior job grade operators stripped of additional ("discretionary") trading bonus disincentivising the idea that working hard, over and above will be recognised and rewarded, too much middle management clogging up opportunities for progression and too many layers of approval, slow progression of salady and job grade, finance based overseas with no understanding of the bigger picture, lots of management politics
