Great global reach, poor local management

Pros

- General company culture in Life and Investments was good (though it depends on your team) - Good CEO, and high level leadership - Employees are appreciated with some good benefits and social events

Cons

- Politics are rife among teams and middle management - Middle management in some teams was poor. Yelling abuse at employees on the floor without any consideration of the audience or repercussions. - A member of the exec team was having an affair with a direct report which became very public and ongoing. No action was taken by HR or senior management once team dynamic became toxic due to ongoing arguments. - there is room for improvement here, and some staff should be filtered out as they create an unsteady and uncomfortable work environment.
