Pros

Great opportunity to learn about the markets, and bloomberg as a whole, which is widely used in the financial markets industry. Great way to network. Benefits include 4 weeks off. Lots of perks in sales, like free lunch when on client visits. Great benefits

Cons

Managers expect you to work long hours, high turnover. HR goes straight to your manager with a complaint and lets them deal with the issue directly, so you really can't complain about anything without your manager having the last say. Need a doctor's note on the 5th sick day you take. Salary is terrible and it won't increase much, maybe 4-5%. You will be penny pinching working for this company.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
