Business outlook
Pros
biggest physical energy portfolio players in the world. interesting products and markets. massive balance sheet and good risk appetite. Relatively sophisticated for its size and budget. On the whole very pleasant people to work with, who by and large seem happy to be there. Generous holiday time.
Cons
volatile compensation scheme heavily coloured by politics. a zero-sum forced ranking system which kills esprit de corps. Thin systems/quant/tech support. Antique deal capture. Responsibility too syndicated among non-specialists who can hold up projects for no good reason. Erosion of competence due to high turnover, especially in technical support and administrative functions.
