Pros

The chap who set the company up is a star, really clever, visionary.

This permeated down the chain right to the ground floor.

Cons

Unfortunately, recently there has been a large influx of managers from Deutsche Bank who have transformed the company from an engineering powerhouse to a toxic political nightmare, commonly known in the company as the Deutsche Bank deadwood.

Still quite a few clever people knocking about but with large layoffs on February 2023 it looks like most of the bright people are jumping ship, don't blame them.

Advice to Management

Probably too late for this to reach any of the longer term G-Research managers.

Don't hire people from large investment banks as their skills aren't in engineering, they are political people with years of experience in tying companies up in processes that slow down progress to a crawl.
