Pros

Good Technology, very advanced and forward looking in tech, specially compared to other financial companies

Cons

Sleazy Managers. No Accountability for managers. My manager kept misleading me that my promotion has already been approved. Turns out, he didn't even table it, let alone being approved. Very high favoritism amongst managers, and zero accountability and transparency in the performance management conversations results in mediocrity and sycophancy being favoured over real output.

Pros

They pay you money I guess

Cons

I was a data analyst for about a year, but left as soon as I possibly could. I'll just be upfront here - I'm a white woman, and this was a place for Indian men. Almost my entire department was Indian. Really set the culture of the place - I was supposed to be a super meek little woman, without opinions. Racist (against white people) and sexist place - at least in the data analyst sphere. Yikes - stay away! This was such a shock - this was my second job and my previous company had been wonderfully supportive of women, so this was just so weird to me. I was specifically told to hang back, not speak in meetings, not take initiative, etc. When I had the experience, creativity, and intelligence to really make a difference. Such a weird place, the data analyst environment. A real blip on my resume - haven't had any other issues in my career, so I do think it's them, not me.

Pros

you can ask for ridiculous amount of salary, recommendation is negotiate for 10-20% higher than the offer. because people are quitting left right and center due some bad apples, the company is desperate for new hires. Don’t forget to ask for that signing bonus!

Cons

too much bullying... some people are egoistic and power hungry, where they purposely sabotage newer staffs by not including them in meetings, giving them the silent treatment, treating them like they don’t exist, not providing them with project updates, and giving them misleading information. And there isn’t only one or two of them, it is a gang of them like that. people are leaving or fired… the company does a good job at hiring good people but then don’t equip them to be successful. new people get discouraged quite quickly because a lot of people go out of their way to make them life miserable. feb is bonus payout time and is when a chunk of the company leaves. when managers don’t like their direct reports they would have HR investigate them and get them fired. it is hard not to be underperforming when the odds is against you so people get fired all the time. another way is reorg-ing them out. weak leadership the slt continues to try to build morale but usually ends up a bunch of people quiet in a room. you can fool the newbies but can fool everyone. turning a blind eye on the bullying issues cause of pressure to drive results. unsustainable approach.
