Pros

Having worked for some of the largest companies previously, I have never seen such a large opportunity for personal progression, career development and earning capacity as deVere-Group provides it's employees. I am personally experiencing it and have now worked in two different locations, Europe and the UAE where i'm currently based in the Dubai Marina office. The working environment is top class, lots of driven, motivated professionals in a state of the art office striving to be the best and working hard. Really gets the best out of people and has a great management structure leading from the front.

Cons

Not many I guess but some new starters come a little ill prepared and unfocused. More preparation and planning should be done to give the best chance of success. I found it a difficult move in the early days, but more than worth it looking back.

Pros

During my time on this programme I have been pushed to my limits and discovered skills and attributes that were previously hidden. For those leaving University wanting to work for a company that offers early career progression, the opportunity to earn impressive remuneration that is uncapped and work in some interesting and dynamic cities around the world, this is the perfect programme for you. The company culture is very much that of rewarding your for hard work and encouraging you to progress in terms of qualifications, targets and overall understanding of what is a fast paced and constantly changing industry. I am very happy with the programme and feel part of a company that is as enthusiastic about my career as I am.

Cons

This is not for the faint hearted. Although the company does offer high earning potential, early career progression and the opportunity to work abroad, they have very high expectations from you. If they feel you are not giving 100% they WILL let you know. You can at times be expected to work long hours. During the Malta Academy phase, you can expect to start work at 6am. This is due to differing time zones. Although the opportunity is far from exclusive to those with a financial background, you are expected to be a quick learner. You need to arrive, learn and add value almost immediately. If you are not naturally motivated, self sufficient and thick skinned you may struggle. At some stage you will definitely be out of your comfort zone. I have been multiple times. The role is extremely front loaded. i.e. it is very difficult at the start but gets easier overtime. You will likely doubt yourself and your abilities at some point during the first 6 months. If you have high career ambitions but are unable to match it in terms of work ethic and determination, don't waste your time.

Pros

You can earn uncapped and are supported by a great team of people. You also have the chance to see the world and experience new culture. An exciting challenge.

Cons

You need to be very driven. You need to graft because the rewards don't come at the click of a finger but you just need to get over that wall, which is the most difficult part.
