Pros
Learned a few fun but ultimately useless facts and skills in relation to share registry analysis and investor relations. Good clients and exposure to niche industries were the pros of the job. While Link Market Services had quite dull products, Orient Capital had very interesting products and technologies to work with.
Cons
Terrible management with HR policies that are almost non existent. Uninspired leadership by 'old school entrepreneurs' and accountants who ended up as C-level managers. Wildly exaggerated perceptions of their own intelligence, no communication, no professional development and often comical levels of aggressive behaviour with staff and even clients were just a few of my observations. A toxic environment, mainly due to very unsophisticated C-level management in Australia made it a totally forgetful career experience for me.
