Pros

• First and foremost: you may read on here that there is a clause in the contract which tells people to repay the cost of the training if they decide to leave before two years. This clause has now been removed and we were given new contracts which releases us from that. So don’t worry about that! • The quality of the training is great. It is aimed people who already have some experience in coding, but the basics are covered in order to get everyone up to speed. The technical trainers are knowledgeable and they build an environment which encourages you to ask questions, which, for me, wasn’t always the case at university. • The training is built to be very specific to what you’re actually going to be using whilst on-site. A class can be made up of some people going to one bank, some going to another, and some still looking to secure a role. MThree communicate closely with their clients and change the training based on what they need. For instance, most in our class didn’t require SQL, so we spent more time on Java so that they could get on site. Later, when I secured a role which required SQL, C++ and Javascript, that training was happily provided by MThree. • My training contract ended after 8 weeks, by which point I hadn’t yet secured a role. MThree were very happy for me to continue to come in to sit in classes which covered other technologies whilst the sales team continued to try to secure me interviews for other opportunities. The good thing here is that MThree by this point have invested a fairly significant amount of money into you in order to train you, and so they have a strong financial incentive to continue to help secure you a role. • The culture at the branch in London is fantastic. The alumni are well connected to the relationship managers and the rest of the sales team. A lot of recruiters elsewhere can often feel exploitative and dodgy, but the sales team here at MThree work really hard to match your strengths with the criteria of the clients, as well as trying to match your ambitions with the job roles. The recruitment process truly feels like it works in both directions which is very rare elsewhere as a graduate. • MThree is very much an up-and-coming company. They recently have received significant financial backing to expand, so now is a good time to get involved with them as they are rapidly expanding into new industries. • You have a lot of good options in regards to the future of your career, and they will help to shape it with you through the journey. The idea with MThree is to place you at a company as a consultant developer for two years. Every 6 months, you speak with your manager as well as with MThree to discuss how it’s going, whether additional training is needed etc. At the end, you will likely have the chance to either continue at the placed company as a permanent employee, or if you’d like to continue to explore, you can carry on at MThree as an Alumni Pro and get placed in another one of MThree’s clients, with an appropriate pay increase either way. • Pay is average initially but ramps up very quickly. At the end of two years, you are looking at 40-45k. • Other great employee benefits – gym membership, health insurance, pension scheme, access to more training etc etc • Senior management is very accessible. The Chief Technology Officer of the company is also a technical trainer, and he’s a fantastic teacher. • Honourable mentions: David and Ben are great technical trainers, and Kat, George and Olivia are fantastic sales staff who help to build your brand. You’re in good hands if you’re talking with them!

Cons

• A little bit of spotty communication between the company and graduates before the training starts. Once the training and employment has started, MThree get very good with communication, but there is a bit of room for improving communication with graduate applicants. It took me a while for the training to begin. However, this is often due to things outside of MThree’s control, like the changing needs of different clients.

Pros

-Provides the opportunity to work within the investment banking sector.

Cons

-Awful communication, told multiple times of a training date only to be pushed back further and further, then cancelled the whole program and job offer after offering me the job and promising to send over the contract. -Was only told about the cancelled program and no job offer on the day of supposed training, due to "client issue" and the client no longer needing graduates, very unprofessional and should not have been offered a job for a client if this wasn't guaranteed. This caused weeks of wasted time and effort along with leaving a part-time role for this opportunity that I was due to start. -suspect hiring techniques, only given a 15-minute interview for a role with a large investment bank. (passed interview and was successful) this seems strange and out of place, was also called about my application a few hours after I applied, creating suspicion with the rushed nature of the process.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of MThree. Firstly, I apologise if you feel that you were poorly communicated to, whilst being considered as a candidate for our Alumni Training programme. I can confirm that before receiving an offer to join the training programme or any offer of employment, candidates go through a multi-step selection process, rather than the 15-minute phone call, that you refer to in your feedback. This includes a phone-screen, online testing, Skype or face to face interview and an interview with our client. A job offer is never made until the steps above have been completed and the project has been signed off by our client. We would also never recommend a candidate quitting a part-time job before receiving a formal offer from MThree. We apologise if there was any confusion regarding the process, and if you thought you had received an offer of employment or that you were an employee of MThree as you state on your feedback. Until a project is confirmed no formal offers or paperwork are issued. We are always open to receiving constructive feedback from candidates and I would welcome you reaching out to me to continue this conversation. Kat Snodgrass (katherine.snodgrass@mthreeconsulting.com). Head of Alumni Talent

Good Afternoon, I am disappointed to read your feedback although confused by some of your statements. Our programmes provide graduates with a first step into Investment Banking. Yes you are entering junior positions in investment banking, but as graduates you will have no prior experience. The Alumni programme provides you with the opportunity to work hard, take on more responsibility, develop your career and become a subject matter expert whilst receiving training and support. You mentioned a ‘jobs for the boys culture.’ At mthree we have 34% female representation which is far above the national average and have a culture of collaboration and inclusivity. I am both a senior manager and female. I can confirm that not all senior managers are recruiters, including myself. We have Senior management from a varied range of backgrounds including finance, education, HR, fintech, client services and consultancy. We have open conversations with all graduates joining the programme. Graduates are not tied into mthree during training or placement onsite yet we have a 94% success rate of individuals transitioning to client site at 2 years. Graduates would only continue a career and transition to the bank if they were enjoying what they did and saw career progression. I would be interested to discuss the points further please email katherine.snodgrass@mthree.com
