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.
Advice to Management

Promote competent technical leaders (I have met many at Squarepoint), instead of placing politically savvy yes men into middle management.
