Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Close Brothers full-time for less than a year
Pros
Basic benefits and good bonus, office minutes away from Liverpool Street
Cons
Job specs irrelevant to the role you'll be doing, high expectations with basic salaries well below the market, huge pay discrepancies between managers and analysts. Members of different teams, who are doing the same thing for a lifetime and in fact have minimum responsibilities have also created a typical English blame culture. Very high employee turnover in this team - management simply let employees leave one after another.
