A company with a culture in decline
A company with a culture in decline
- Good compensation
- Nice perks (trips, food, etc.)
- Good work/life balance
- unskilled middle management
- During the period I have been there, initiative has become increasingly discouraged.
- Although advertised as flat, the structure is very hierarchical.
- A rush for doing things fast without understanding the outcomes.
- A lot of politics.
Talking from an IT perspective:
- Hire people with a proven track record from outside the trading world (less slick talk, more knowledge).
- Require employee feedback from the bottom up, so upper layers can also be reviewed.
- Get rid of incumbents that hold significant positions without being qualified to do so.
