      High deal flow in toxic environment

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You learn a lot about your personal values, boundaries, and what you find to be acceptable/unacceptable. Office and global offsites are in good locations Good deal flow (but you will work for it)

      Cons

      - Toxic work environment - condescending, racist and misogynistic. White men promoted at expense of more experienced and competent minorities and women - Team heads have no interest in people on team or managing - Very anti-cultural compared to the "Investec culture" that is pitched - strongly enforced hierarchy - Pay is very below market. Lack of titles used against you as in "Associates" unlikely to ever get a VP bump (responsibility or salary) - Days off / personal commitments (including evenings and weekends) are ignored/ used against you

      A brilliant place to work and develop

      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you embrace the values of Investec you can go far. The culture of meritocracy, open and honest dialogue, and a flat structure has enabled myself and my colleagues to thrive, deepen our passion for our areas of interest, and support the business to do more with regards to sustainability. Through the many learning courses, networking opportunities, and volunteering experiences I have felt empowered to bring my whole self to work and to always strive to do more for the business.

      Cons

      As the company gets bigger there is a risk that the culture and values of the organisation are lost - and that is our competitive edge.
