Pros

Looks great on CV Lots of opportunities to learn Standard benefits package, no better or worse than competition Easy to sell as dominates sector, twice more terminals than Refinitiv installed

Cons

Long hours, standard 8-6 flat structure, takes ages to progress career Promotion is based on how manageable you are, are you willing to confirm to the culture Brightest people are never promoted When this is your first job in life be ready to work very very hard, and put up with lots of unfairness You will be clocked in and out all the time Bullying and harassment is part of culture although employee guide condemns it If you are on visa be ready to be exploited as the company knows you have no choice but to be compliant Work is mechanical as there are processes You have to log every move, call, meeting into crm You will fly a lot and stay in hotels a lot if you are in a sales role You will see zero smiles and happiness and soon you will be the same
