Pros

The other graduates you start with are genuinely amazing. The work social life is active and the perks are good (trips abroad, free drinks etc.). The job looks good on paper, making you relatively employable when looking for other jobs

Cons

No matter the amount of fun people around and perks, this job is mindlessly boring. For the first 3 months you will simply be copy pasting linkedin profile information into the internal system, as well as cold calling. After you start project managing your will continue with the profile copying and cold calling, but also answer emails and call your clients. All in all your job is endless admin, with little to no thinking or analysis behind it. You have no job security. New graduates frequently get fired in their first few months. Senior employees can easily be put back on probation due to matters which are beyond their control. The target system is completely commission based and favours certain parts of the business (funds and private equity) and does not take external factors, such as seasonality, properly in to account. The stress due to the targets monthly makes numerous employees ill and is very counter-productive. Management has shown no willingness to amend it. Currently, there is a trend of barely 50% of each intake lasting for more than 1 year. If you do intend to start working here, I greatly recommend to continue searching for other jobs.

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
