Pros

Wish there was something positive about my experience

Cons

I worked at ETFGI for almost a year; leaving such a toxic place was the best decision I've ever made. The workload is so unstructured , that makes your every day at work stressful for no reason. The managing partner shows little to no respect to the hard work and effort you put in and her attitude is always unprofessional. She can change her mind from one day to the next making your work life even more difficult. No one stays in that place for more than a year and there are PLENTY reasons for that.

Pros

The data analyst team is great to work with, supportive, knowledgeable, and collaborative. The work is very straightforward and not overly complicated.

Cons

I worked at ETFGI and, unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences of my career. There is zero career progression, the only concern is getting the work done, with no investment in employees' growth or development. The work itself is simple and manageable, yet there is constant micromanagement, making even the easiest tasks stressful. The work environment is extremely toxic. The boss is disrespectful, lacks people skills, and does not care about employees' well-being. There are no team calls or engagement, just relentless work with unrealistic expectations. Staff turnover is extremely high, which speaks for itself, people don’t stay because of the poor leadership. If you’re looking for a place where you can grow, feel valued, or work in a supportive team, this is not it. I would not recommend this company to anyone who values their professional development and mental well-being.

Pros

If you're looking to hear buzzwords like "data-driven" and "thought leadership" on a daily basis without seeing them put into practice, this is the place for you. With a leadership style best described as “absentee but intrusive,” you’ll have plenty of opportunities to figure things out on your own — mostly because clear guidance is a luxury you won’t find here.

Cons

Communication is opaque, feedback is nonexistent unless it’s negative, and micromanagement is disguised as “attention to detail.” If you enjoy being blamed for problems you didn’t create, you’ll feel right at home. There’s no structure, mentorship, or growth path (what do you expect with sucha small team) so promotions don’t exist. Neither does professional development. It's a great place to stagnate. The expectation is that you’re always available, despite being underpaid and undervalued. Weekends are treated as buffer days to fix issues that stem from poor planning.
