Pros

The Group of the Company in U.K. headquarter maybe good The company has good reputation in HK market and U.K. Market for sure. The APAC MD seems to be friendly.

Cons

It is very difficult for me to recommend this office to any of my friends, when I experienced the non professionalism of the company' junor management. At least the junior manager doesnt let its staff work and discover its strengths. I am very surprised that such kind of person can be hired to be manager, while her background is the worst senior consultant at Michael Page at B team. I am very surprised to expeirenced their hiring philosophy is to use trial and errorr methodolog lure people in, and to create its empty database, then kick people out. The company brand and reputation is not in good quality in China market at least in Shanghai office. The Manager i have dealt with at the FS industry knows nothing about industry knowledge in banking,, and completely dont care about candidate's career development, sometimes persuade candidate to take the work they are had no experience. It is very surprised to meet unethical manager like that, who had no industry connection, knowledge to help coach and guide. Each office has some bad apple, but manager like that can be kept at that office for more than 6 months, I am very surprised, and just because she has been in the market for many years.

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
