Pros

• First and foremost: you may read on here that there is a clause in the contract which tells people to repay the cost of the training if they decide to leave before two years. This clause has now been removed and we were given new contracts which releases us from that. So don’t worry about that! • The quality of the training is great. It is aimed people who already have some experience in coding, but the basics are covered in order to get everyone up to speed. The technical trainers are knowledgeable and they build an environment which encourages you to ask questions, which, for me, wasn’t always the case at university. • The training is built to be very specific to what you’re actually going to be using whilst on-site. A class can be made up of some people going to one bank, some going to another, and some still looking to secure a role. MThree communicate closely with their clients and change the training based on what they need. For instance, most in our class didn’t require SQL, so we spent more time on Java so that they could get on site. Later, when I secured a role which required SQL, C++ and Javascript, that training was happily provided by MThree. • My training contract ended after 8 weeks, by which point I hadn’t yet secured a role. MThree were very happy for me to continue to come in to sit in classes which covered other technologies whilst the sales team continued to try to secure me interviews for other opportunities. The good thing here is that MThree by this point have invested a fairly significant amount of money into you in order to train you, and so they have a strong financial incentive to continue to help secure you a role. • The culture at the branch in London is fantastic. The alumni are well connected to the relationship managers and the rest of the sales team. A lot of recruiters elsewhere can often feel exploitative and dodgy, but the sales team here at MThree work really hard to match your strengths with the criteria of the clients, as well as trying to match your ambitions with the job roles. The recruitment process truly feels like it works in both directions which is very rare elsewhere as a graduate. • MThree is very much an up-and-coming company. They recently have received significant financial backing to expand, so now is a good time to get involved with them as they are rapidly expanding into new industries. • You have a lot of good options in regards to the future of your career, and they will help to shape it with you through the journey. The idea with MThree is to place you at a company as a consultant developer for two years. Every 6 months, you speak with your manager as well as with MThree to discuss how it’s going, whether additional training is needed etc. At the end, you will likely have the chance to either continue at the placed company as a permanent employee, or if you’d like to continue to explore, you can carry on at MThree as an Alumni Pro and get placed in another one of MThree’s clients, with an appropriate pay increase either way. • Pay is average initially but ramps up very quickly. At the end of two years, you are looking at 40-45k. • Other great employee benefits – gym membership, health insurance, pension scheme, access to more training etc etc • Senior management is very accessible. The Chief Technology Officer of the company is also a technical trainer, and he’s a fantastic teacher. • Honourable mentions: David and Ben are great technical trainers, and Kat, George and Olivia are fantastic sales staff who help to build your brand. You’re in good hands if you’re talking with them!

Cons

• A little bit of spotty communication between the company and graduates before the training starts. Once the training and employment has started, MThree get very good with communication, but there is a bit of room for improving communication with graduate applicants. It took me a while for the training to begin. However, this is often due to things outside of MThree’s control, like the changing needs of different clients.

Pros

Some aspects of the training was valuable and ability to lean on others for help when learning. Provides a sense of accountability when developing your tech skills. Ability to ask instructors questions instead of having to spend time googling and reading. They have a good client companies.

Cons

They are shady; they will tell you whatever you want to hear like false placement numbers and opportunities just to get you into the program, and then completely ghost you once you've enrolled. Will straight up lie to you saying there are an abundance of jobs with their clients when there are not as only one person in the cohort got a placement with their clients. They can't even secure positions with their own clients because their clients know their training is not good enough even for junior level roles. Don't even pay their trainees anymore so it minimizes incentive for them to place you. Poor communication, poor training, poor outlook.

Pros

I was skeptical at first. MThree contacted me via LinkedIn and it seemed too good to be true. After 3 phone interviews with MThree and 1 video conference interview with JPMorgan Chase & Co. I was offered a position with the company and embarked on a cross-country flight to Manhattan, where I would spend the next 4 weeks training with about 20 other new employees in the very heart of New York City. The training is paid, and the MThree team is incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic regarding their new trainees. We were scattered around Manhattan in various housing accommodations. I stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 of my colleagues. I didn't have any problems with roaches or anything like that. Overall, the living situation was very comfortable, and the training was intensive, but it's not too terribly hard. There's a real sense of camaraderie and "we're all in this together" from the MThree staff and the other trainees. The only major hiccups I encountered throughout my journey from freshly hired to sitting at my desk in the fantastic bank I've been placed in was the training being pushed back exactly 1 week from when I was originally told it would start, training pay not being weekly until it was fixed in the second week, and an issue with my first non-training paycheck, which was resolved within a couple days. I've read the other reviews here talking about how MThree failed to actually place them in a bank as promised, so I just wanted to point out that mine and 20 other new hires' experience was a seamless transition from training to working at the bank initially promised practically as soon as we returned from NYC. I've enjoyed my short time with the company so far (2.5 months at the time of this writing). I can't speak for MThree in the UK, but the New York team really made me feel valued. I will forever be grateful for the time spent in NYC, the new friends I've made, and the opportunity MThree Consulting gave me. Pros tl;dr - Work at leading banks around the world - Paid training (in my case, it was in NYC) - Experienced trainers - Helpful and very friendly staff - Fair starting pay with regular raises

Cons

It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but overall my experience was a highly positive one. MThree trains large batches of new hires for various positions and roles at various banks. You may not know exactly what your specific role will be or what exactly you're training for until the last week of training or so. For example, a lot of the finance material pertained to investment banks, but my actual role at the bank is wholly unrelated to investment banking. There's a underlying theme of not knowing what's going on sometimes. Not knowing your specific role, or start date, or who your manager will be, the address of your bank, etc. A lot of this can be found out by asking MThree staff (maybe more than once), but sometimes it takes a while for even them to get that information as they have to communicate with the bank. This is compounded if you need to move for your new job and make big life-changing arrangements during the training. In the end, all of these questions were answered, but the chaos was stressful.
