Pros

Good work-life balance in the Glasgow location Generally stable environment with reasonable expectations Team-level collaboration and day-to-day work are manageable SSS performance ratings are recognised formally

Cons

Compensation progression does not always align with performance ratings Even top performance ratings (SSS) can result in relatively modest bonus and increment outcomes Previous years with zero increments or bonuses are not visibly factored into future compensation decisions Location and job-profile band constraints significantly limit salary growth High performers may feel their sustained contributions are not proportionately rewarded

Pros

Top tier company with growth opportunity

Cons

The expectation to work 40+ or passed your normal shift as an exempt employee was common among peers and management.

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
