Pros

You can learn how to use the Bloomberg terminal.

Cons

They want to be like bankers in the city, but it is completely different. The job is so boring, I will never suggest to work there. As they do not have real competitors, they can allow to hire people without any skill (to some of them I had to teach how to merge two cells in excel!).

Excellent place for a career start but don't stay too long

Pros

Excellent Internship and graduates programmes International environment Internal career moves are encouraged (also because it's the only way to remain in the company longer than 2 years)

Cons

very little work-life balance: to get ahead the only option is to work long hours on a permanent basis. If you don't (because of personal or health reasons) you will hardly be considered for a promotion or a salary increase. short staffed: most departments are constantly short in staff, putting a lot of pressure on the remaining people to deliver the same results as if the team was fully staffed. weak management in most departments : very few will stand up for their people and work together to complete a project successfully. Most managers are not interested in the day-to-day work. NY centric: all the decisions are taken in headquarters, conference calls with EMEA and APAC are just an fyi. re-orgs are really badly managed and communicated: there is no care for people nor recognition for the work done.
