Investec

Interesting. I can see how they much trumped "entrepreneurial culture" could simply mean a lot of effort and a lot of hours, and more than a touch of presenteeism. On the other hand the role I've been chasing does sound interesting.

The phone has been silent however so I'm guessing I'm not going to have a choice to make!!!

They googled and found this thread.

Investec advised that Glencore was worthless last year, since then the share price has doubled.

Has anybody any recent experience of working at Investec (contract or perm) in London? What's it like?

lots of long hours, management culture drives that not necessarily what the job actually requires.

Sounds like the ultimate SDC nightmare. Double your rate.

I interviewed there a couple of years ago and was advised that because it is South African originating company, the culture has a very blunt/direct nature as per the 'typical' SA culture, and so if you are not of this mindset then you would struggle there.
