Pros

- Nice office with many fish tanks - Free snacks in pantry - Always hiring - willing to hire people with little or not experience - work with smart people - Free evening finance training course offered by Bloomberg University - Excellent summer party, but no Christmas party

Cons

- Below average pay. You might get higher initial salary, but it won't increase much after that. - Micromanagement - Long hours (My manager usual work hour is 7am-6pm) - Bonus is heavily weighted on company and department performance. Therefore, if your department sucks, you won't get much bonus no matter how good you are. - Flat corporate structure and hard to advance. Average 5-10 years to become team lead and 10-20 years to become manager - Small desk spaces

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.
