Pros

Malta is very challenging and it pushes you outside your normal comfort zone. The company believes in you stretching yourself, and if you're not outside your comfort zone you are not really growing. You are put in teams for most of Malta with work in recruitment, FX and Investment/pensions. And you have several days on deVere the industry and the products. Its good that there is assistance for the Chartered Investment Certificate before you leave. Most get through it. Trainers are excellent and you really feel you are learning and growing and developing skills. Quite a bit of responsibility. Competitive for sure. In the offices networking is paramount. You need to be able to get out there and mix with people, clubs and societies etc. Being a people person is a must.

Cons

You are definitely challenged and it it sometimes soul searching, sometimes frustrating, sometimes annoying. But on the whole great fun. You are sometimes up at 6 because of other countries time zones, but you expect that from a global company. You have a lot to get through especially if you don't have a business degree and prioritising can be difficult but somehow if you are a positive person it gets done. In the offices its usually 8 am start.

Graduate Scheme is not as they sell it

Pros

Opportunity to make amazing money. They are the best and biggest financial advisory firm. Hard work is rewarded! This job really is not for the faint hearted, you will be expected to work long hours a day but the money I have seen people make is huge!

Cons

The graduate role is essentially sales. It was sold to me as a finance role but it really is not. For the first two years you will be cold calling and data mining all day. If you want to do sales this is a fantastic opportunity - it's tax free uncapped commission! But for myself personally I was so disheartened as I wanted to pursuit a career in finance, not sales. Furthermore, as it is in Dubai there are quite a few things that happen that just would not happen in the UK due to legal reasons. So it's a bit dogey in that regard. The retainer system - you do not have a proper salary.
