G-Research

There are a lot of clever engineers and few decent managers to work with.

The company is very ambitious and there is an opportunity to get involved with many different areas. It is a very strong research and actual end-to-end quant firm.

Engineering leadership is in a really bad shape. In the past few years, there's been a steady influx of politicians from some horrific shops like Facebook or Credit Suisse and they are prioritizing their personal agendas at the expense of what actually needs to be done.

Career progression is severely limited and the environment is mostly toxic although that depends on the area that you work in.

Consider restructuring top engineering leadership team by getting rid of newly hired clowns and promoting from within or at least hiring from other strong quant shops.

If you remove several problematic figures, most of the current problems will go away with them.
