1.) lots of reasonable OT but the VPs just rule out OT and try to remove any deserving employee on the same pretext.
2.) visible partiality to people the upper management knows or has good relations with although they sit on the chair non productively either gossiping on the phone or computers with all known colleagues.
3.) senior staff having lots of ego and attitude that junior staff is always scared to ask any questions or they are looked and reported very much negatively which rules out any scope of learning.
4.) lots of visible office politics, if you want to succeed here you should be good looking and shouting, because polite and good listeners are often asked to leave the company by senior management or are threatened to face the consequences.
5.) tuition reimbursement for cfa or cpa is a joke : you need to stay and satisfy certain years of employment if Tution fees are reimbursed.
6.) unhealthy OT environment. people are reasonably working but are unreasonably compensated. and if there is ot (OVERTIME) then the VPs catch managers and managers catch the down line throat and keep getting angry. first of all managers, vps, supers, seniors op analyst, please watch your mouth and stop getting irritated , as you have to answer our questions as our time is more important than yours and we care more about not doing OT but this line of business requires this and your bonuses is the least needed here.
6.) really angry seniors, only God knows why are they seniors .they actually don't respect anyone, don't know how to pass on knowledge to juniors and expect them to work fast. well fast work is necessary but that does not mean getting one frustrated. 7.) SLA thing is such a mean system that gets very absurd and so not doable.
TIP: if you get to work for an aggressive client, trust me , get out of CFS or don't make any mistake and do everything on time, otherwise the client and the upper management will make sure to make your life so miserable that you may stop breathing naturally for a long time.
8.) this would clearly be the last company in the world which I would be applying to, please look for other options immediately and do not do the mistake of waiting for some years experience before applying elsewhere.
9.) hedge fund industry is not teaching you anything , look for some better industry (totally lost faith by how things work here) they will only teach one thing the word : Fast please.
10.) really worst upper management , not motivating only dominating
11.) really so much more, just want to leave this as is now, heartbroken but very true to the reality.
