Squarepoint Capital

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

• 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
