- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
It is very good and fun
Cons
It can be hard sometimes
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Fair salary and benefit package
Cons
Has changed drastically in recent years
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
You can get placed in a major bank easier than going through the hiring process with the bank directly
Cons
You’re on your own , in almost every way you can imagine. If you need to contact your manager, HR or anyone in the company, expect a long wait for a reply, if it ever comes. Review process is terrible, salary isn’t linked to performance, and reviews are for basically show. Will be completely ignored if you need something from the company. Mental health is a policy on paper, not in practice. The image of FD on social media is nothing like the experience of working here
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Plenty of interesting projects, but luck involved in getting a good one. Shift towards investment in R&D recently. Good entry into software for grads with less technical backgrounds.
Cons
Plenty of terrible projects. New compensation package doesn't match the expenses package previously offered.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Exposure to many project experiences.
Cons
Typical con of every consulting company.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Salary is ok and expenses
Cons
No comment on this one
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
false advertising, wish i listened to the reviews on here before i joined
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
people on the projects are actually really nice. not stressful technical training programme is great (pity you dont get to actually use it)
Cons
- joined on the Data stream and was really eager to start learning about data. got thrown into a project that had nothing to do with data before my induction month even finished. (was told to finish my induction in my own time). tried to ask to move after 6 months of hard work, they didnt care. just kept promising id get my move soon. glad i didnt listen and went and got a job elsewhere. - the finance side of the 'CMTP' programme is a waste of time. Most people have the answers to all the questions in every exam and the company know this. - just felt like another clog in the wheel, they don't care about grads, most of my intake has already moved on to other companies in less than a year. it feels like the motto is 'get as many people in the door as we can to make up for the turnover'
