Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Long hours, good work experience
Pros: competitive pay
valuable work experience

Although the hours are long, the exposure to financial markets and products is hard to match.
The junior staff (Analyst & Associate) are great people - hard working and bright.
Cons: Cut throat culture
Long hours

Management talent can be lacking, as promotions are largely based on p/l performance. This can be frustrating for the junior ranks. This varies by group.
Senior management seems so overworked and wrapped up in politics that developing junior talent is nearly non-existent.
