Business outlook
Pros
A multi-cultural work force and European outlook. NOT an aggressive Anglo-Saxon investment banking culture. Has vast potential to mobilise central and Eastern European financial activity
Cons
Excessive layers of management, heavy politics French vs Italian, Germans vs both. Bureaucratic hurdles are vast, with many contract temp-workers in key operational or compliance functions. These temps are only trained to tick boxes, turnover is high. One ends up leaning on team managers to get things done - but nothing done quickly. Senior management not detail oriented.
