An organizational trainwreck
An organizational trainwreck
The pay is competitive.
- 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
