      Business outlook

      Pros

      Dynamic working environment. Close knit team of seasoned market professionals who work well together

      Cons

      High pressure to perform in a difficult market. Being a start up, and entering a highly competitive market it was a challenge to reach targets

      High deal flow in toxic environment

      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
