Pros

ONLY if a career suicide is what you'd want, or if you are applying for higher management posts, you can have the perfect retirement position ever on this island - NATO and collect salary.

Cons

Poor HR policies governing this place, breeds bootlicking culture and brain drain. Management has no clue what is relevant in today's world. Credit snatching is prevalent and in broad daylight. Worst communication channel from management to staff, with no idea nor plan, and zero leadership to motivate nor train up staff. Basically a headless chicken of a company. Zero emphasis on welfare and team morale. Stepping stone for real talents, though be warned, simply by having this company on your resume destroys your career prospects. Poorest compensation as well, furthest from being competitive. Culture is very very toxic, if you do not believe, you are welcome to join and see for yourself.

Pros

- Good Work-Life Balance - People are generally nice / Middle management is willing to mentor even across work teams

Cons

Kow Tow Nature to head honcho and his army of yes men in senior mgmt shows there remains ways to career progression Protip: make sure to laugh at jokes told by senior mgmt during meetings Constantly changing pet projects by CEO (Movement towards ESG one year, then ETFs the next and wtv flavor of the year thrown out by FT) to mask the fact that the business is in structural decline (Net outflow of AUM) (Then again the entire AM business is too small and negligible to the bank such that they get away scott free) High turnover amongst junior staff, more than 80% of investment analysts has resigned within the FI team, each year young analysts get conned before "putting people first" is lip service
