Tower Research Capital

I have worked at Tower for quite some time. There are a number of positives:

1. You get to work on a number of challenging problems.
2. Your colleagues are mostly smart (except some which would I will highlight in cons)
3. Great food
4. Good pay

1. Some of the managers show a lot of favouritism, especially towards people who they have known prior to joining Tower (either due to personal connect or other previous organization). Hiring process/Interview process is also not followed in the right manner due to managers' influence over the interviewees. Even people with poor preliminary test performance go through.

2. All of this goes unchecked and people close to their managers get better appraisals, better bonuses and better work.

3. Any voice of dissent is often suppressed since devs don't have direct contact with the upper management based out of other locations (other than India).

Tower Research is an amazing place to work, and I am genuinely attached to this company. I would request you to kindly keep a check on what goes in India, since favouritism is a rampant problem in India, especially with Indian managers. Don't become a company which values their managers more than what developers feel. Be a dev/technology centric company as opposed to falling prey to the politics played by the senior managers in India.
