Pros

Free food, not much work actually needs to be done, you just need to talk a lot and show presence. The only thing they care about is you doing the helpdesk. You can also volunteer, go to events and doing different stuff to waste your time at work. There are some learning opportunities.

Cons

If you are ambitious don’t go there. The job is absolute nonsense. The team leads and the managers are there because they are not capable of doing actual jobs, so they find themselves in “managing” and micromanaging. For example, my team leader once was checking how I am sending an email to someone (not client). This job completely shattered my mental heath and self worth, I was so unhappy. And no, the problem was not me, since I left I am doing fine and don’t hate my job that much at any times despite any difficulties that I may have. My advice to people who are stuck there and afraid to make a move: the earlier you do it the better for you. And no, free nuts are not a reason to keep a bad job. No one’s job should be as boring, annoying and self-humiliating.

Great company, in this role you have the chance to learn about the financial markets, the terminal, and also you get client exposure.

Not really cons, culture is great.

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.
