Overall rating: 1/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Fund Accounting
Pros: Above average pay for Edinburgh area
Numerous company events advertised on intranet.
Cons: "Associate's" appear to have been shoehorned into these roles with little or no people management skills. Get the impression that if a situation arises that doesn't appear in the managers handbook then they have no idea how to deal with it. 
Extremely cliquey atmosphere, get the impression that the company has blanket hired a number of staff with little or no plan on how to integrate them into the company or make them feel welcome. Very bland corporate atmosphere, get the impression that the majority of staff think they're one promotion away from a starring role in The Apprentice. Embarassing self promotion of "graduates" on company emails (is anyone genuinely interested in Ben traveling round the word with his backpack?) & constant emailing bigging up JP Morgan that leaves you with the impression that they're trying to convince themselves that it's a good place to be.
