Pros

As Valuation Controller, you gain strong technical experience in pricing, model review, and PnL analysis, while working closely with trading desks and risk teams. The firm has a collaborative culture, and colleagues are generally supportive and knowledgeable, which makes it a great place to develop both technical and professional skills. There are also good internal mobility opportunities and access to high-quality training resources.

Cons

Work can be demanding at times, especially around reporting cycles and when dealing with model or pricing issues that require tight deadlines.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
