      Outdated technologies and primitive ways of working

      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Salary not bad for fresh grad level, but under the average for the financial industry - Opportunity to travel - Very good opportunity to learn about functional/banking and financial products/... - Good for fresh grads to have a taste about real life - Great office/snacks/location

      Cons

      - Nice people but way too busy and not many techies, no time to really develop great relationships - Your boss is way to busy (it is hard to have only 5-10 min of his time per day) - Very bad place to work as an IT specialist if you love technologies and the beauty of computer systems/software this is not the place you are looking for (way too much finance, not enough tech) - From an IT perspective: outdated technologies/very low quality software with many bugs holding together thanks to some workarounds done by the technical consultants - GUI is terrible with lot of spelling mistakes - No or low level documentation that is very difficult to find - Besides Murex, average employees/managers have very low technical skills/knowledge - If you stay too long in Murex you will be trapped in it and it will be very difficult to change jobs since you learn only Murex modules/screens/interfaces... You will be an expert in Murex and only in Murex and your market value will decrease tremendously since you can not reuse the experience that you have learned here - Lot of stress, long working hours, poor work-life balance - High turn-over, people are exhausted and do not looks happy to come at work - In a nutshell, the company is like a support shop/a case factory in which you feel like a tickets/cases robot solver - outdated way of working -> very old tools, mail box is your principal tool, - lot of manual testing...

      Fast knowledge progress and slow career progress [FO consultant]

      Singapore
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The nature of Murex consultants' job scope (Front office) had determined that you would have the opportunity to explore business model and strategies of different treasury departments. This means, you can enjoy a very steep learning curve in the first 3 yeas in Murex. The culture of the company helps you to grow not only your functional skills, but also your soft skills. Seniors would always teach you the best way to communicate with clients, and the best way to handle a crisis. After 3 years, you would normally (provide if you are not an lazy bug who slacks at work) have: 1. Very good understanding of one or two financial asset class (Interest rate, Commodity, Fixed income, FX derivatives, Credit derivatives or equity derivatives). 2. Very good communication and presentation skills. 3. Maturity in understanding banks' business flow.

      Cons

      Narrow career path at later stage (5 years and onwards) Typical career progress. 1. Consultant 2. Senior consultant 3. Product domain expert // Team manager // Client management // Senior support coordinators, depends on what's your preference or what are available for you. Salary progress would be comparable with banks at initial years. After 4 or 5 years, the salary grows is more close to an IT support role in the bank, but lower than a business analyst or trading support role in the bank. Good consultants in Murex normally seek for a salary counter-offer when they reach 3-4 years maturity and call it (marked to market). Good thing is, Murex values its "good employees" and would really counter offer you to match your expectation.
