      Pros

      The mission is laudable and many employees are passionate about achieving success.

      Cons

      Sadly, working here was the worst experience of my career. The London office was disjointed, with teams at war with each other. Most staff were struggling with excessively heavy workloads and a culture of working very late and at weekends prevailed. HR processes and systems are very weak. High turnover of staff. A member who had been accused of bullying by several people remained in position with seemingly no repercussions. My advice is to avoid at all costs.

        Pros

        - Supervisors look out for their interns, always using every opportunity to teach - Staff is generally upbeat and friendly and encourages working with other interns - IRC often hires from within

        Cons

        - Nature of the job can be very tough considering the clientele

      Underwriter

      I've completed an initial phone screening interview, followed by a 2-hour interview with the Department VP. Next in the process are three separate 90-minute peer interviews. Is there a possibility of another interview after the peer interviews, or should I anticipate receiving an offer?
