Pros

A fast-paced, progressive, tech company. Not what you'd expect from a bank.

Cons

Performance management is bad. It's supposed to be agile and all about teamwork, but we're forced to meet a curve during end-of-year "calibration" sessions, even at a group size of 20 to 25 individuals. The result is a highly political environment where it's more about how you market yourself versus how you actually perform.

Advice to Management

Revamp performance management. Rather than compete against your colleagues, let's support each other and compete against our competitors.
