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

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.
