Graduate Associate Wealth Adviser
Pros
People at DeVere are truly inspiring, incredibly hard working and push you to get the best out of you. The company has a great ethos, work hard play hard and have high standards. I learnt a lot about the financial service industry in such a short period of time. Had the opportunity to meet the CEO and he gave us some fantastic talks, both about financial services and investment world and motivational talks. The fact that you could get so close to the CEO so quickly and he was willing to listen to any ideas you have gave the company that start up vibe, essentially you can make a difference from day 1 at DeVere. I also learnt key practical things that will help me in my personal and work life, like goal setting and the things you need to have in place to get yourself to were you want to go. Great lectures. Learnt more here in 3 weeks than I did in my 4 years at university. The choice of work locations is also great!
Cons
Getting up early to start your day, however it surprised how much work you can do before the world wakes up.
