    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    One of the worst places I have worked
    The good thingsGood pay. Opportunity to work on lots of different projects as a project manager in IT.
    The challengesNo work life balance at all. Contractors not allowed to work from home, even under difficult family circumstances. Most implementations out of hours. Not enough resources for projects and the program manager expects the PMs to resolve resource conflicts between them.

    3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    My experience with this organisation is one of stress with long hours and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
    The good thingsPersonally, I cannot provide any highlight.
    The challengesThere is lack of support despite management indicated otherwise. There is constant increase of work and at the same time, there is constant head counts freeze.

    Exhausting and frustrating.
    The good thingsMost of the people are great...easy to get on with and professional.
    The challengesSeriously understaffed and not willing to change it. You will work very long hours with no appreciation and no paid overtime. Workload is unrelenting. They won't spend money on better systems so a lot of manual work.

    3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Great Company to work for, good location, excellent management and good working conditions with reasonable salary.
    The good thingsI really enjoyed working at BNP Securities Services. From start I felt welcome in the team and found my Manager and Team Leader to be very supportive and helpful.
    The challengesThe monthly fixed asset reconciliation used to be a challenge. This was mainly because of not receiving timely responses from the security holders within a set timeframe and this used to delay completion of the reconciliation on my side. Reminders needed to be sent constantly followed by phone calls and sometimes calling another area to request speeding up the response.
