Asset management company with investment banking culture
Pros
- Nice office and amenities - Good stepping stone for other opportunities if you can stick it out
Cons
- Toxic workplace environtment with intimidation culture, bullying and obvious gender bias. Senior management and their 2IC's are clearly protected as their bad behaviour is swept under the carpet. - No work life balance, difficult to make plans after work as you never know when you will be able to finish work. - No flexibility with working from home which was really shown during the pandemic where you were still expected to come into the office despite the city having multiple COVID expososure sites. - Not a personable experience, you are just another number working for a big machine. - High staff turnover. - Processes are not documented and there are no real IT systems in place (most work done in excel, word & powerpoint).
