I have been working at FNZ full-time for more than a year

Cons

Where do I start! I could go on for ages but time is precious and there are lots of companies out there looking for high quality graduates, quite simply do not choose this one. This is not a good place to learn. The structure of the scheme is terrible, you get placed in a team who is under staffed and are set to work on a task which is basically dealing with low level exceptions from a system that is flaky to say the least. There is no formal training or supporting documentation and you are taught by an existing, usually demotivated employee, who has their own job to do so they have very little time to invest and the majority of learning happens through your own mistakes for which you are berated by your “manager”. I use the term manager very loosely as there are no development discussions and you feel like your are interrupting them. The culture is toxic and there are various former grads strewn around the office still in junior roles who will happily share their experience which is unsurprisingly very similar to yours. The more senior roles are mainly held by lifers who have no ambition to move because of you do you lose your security. I’ve struggled to find an inspiring leader here, there is no trust and investment of time, post Covid I’ll be looking for another opportunity.
