Pros: - Nice non-matching pension contribution from the employer - Free lunch and drinks

Cons: - Too many toxic people in the company - Zero interest from line manager in proper onboarding, he wouldn’t even respond to ”good morning” – poor people skills, which was a huge red flag - The tech setup is a nightmare: everything runs through remote desktops with bad latency, latency is very poor, and productivity suffers - Very strict work-from-office policy (only 1 day WFH allowed). Allegedly it was written to guard against the handful of people who abused remote work in the past, instead of trusting the majority. Bad call to design company-wide policy around your worst employees

Pros: There is a really good work environment overall.

Cons: Unrealistic deadlines that sometimes caused teams to fall back.

Pros: - Good profit growth - Interesting projects if you are on the right team. - Ability to invest into the fund if you are a quant - Large bonuses if you are a quant

Cons: The below concerns the tech side only! - A lot of people seem to do nothing; inefficient communication between teams; teams split in a siloed way and isolated from quants. - Really bad bonuses regardless of the performance. Even big banks pay more. - Tech workers have the same restrictions as quants on personal trading, and resignation notice but no way to invest into the fund and no garden leave. - In many cases there is micromanagement which gets in the way.
