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.
