What do you value about working at BTY?
“The variety of project types – and the range of geographic locations is very satisfying. Each project is different. I am also impressed by the professionalism and the hard work everyone puts in. It’s particularly apparent in how well the reports are put together – they integrate all aspects of very complex and technically challenging deals in a language the Lenders can understand.”
