Pros: - The compensation is competitive in local market, but by no means the best. - Lunch is provided by the company. - There are four weeks of vacation per year.

Cons: - Lack of culture. - No clear career path. - Incompetent middle management who takes credit for your work. - Doesn’t care about the safety of its employees, by forcing premature return to office in mid 2020, and by asking people with covid symptoms to come in to the office before their test results come back.

Pros: Inter-teams communication is promoted making it easy to work on projects and clarify requirements.

Cons: Since the firm is global, that facilitated communication can be hindered by timezones.

Pros: The pay is competitive.

Cons: - Zero focus on career development or progression - Gerontocracy - senior tech management keeps churning "experienced" and unimaginative middle managers and senior developers while giving no one an opportunity to advance from below - Technology is subordinate to business/research, given menial programming tasks and anything business does not want to do, and treated as serfs to researchers/projects while tech management does nothing - Do not expect any exposure to business or financial concepts - they do not want you to ask questions - Zero communication or cohesion or discussion of organizational objectives, deep siloes and Darwinian project/people management culture - Senior business management is a bunch of quants with zero people skills that can't communicate with other human beings on a basic level, they don't care about employees or even about making money - they are rich already and this is just a game to them
