Pros

Colleagues are nice. I made friends. If you are interested in client relationship management, client onboarding, or AML compliance, this is a good starting point.

Mostly doing administrative work, not much training in analytical skills.

Pros

It looks like some of the teams are turning around because it looks like they got rid of at least 1 deluded head of department.

Cons

The managers can be quite delulu. One of them told me she can take me to fly to greater heights. Lucky I didnt listen, otherwise I would fly into the dustbin with her.
