Closers only - Equity Derivatives Broker Vantage Capital Markets Employee Review

Great learning opportunity. Work on all aspects of deals as an intern. Work closely with associate level down.

Deal flow not super high due to economy.

Old Arian team + 'Arian' hires are good to work with.

Old school & outdated viewpoint CEO will openly say "I'm paying your salary!". Authoritarian leadership. Questionable C suite comprised of said CEO's friends and neighbours. No proper HR to turn to if you have a problem with senior staff members. Since management are all friends, makes it difficult for staff to turn anywhere if there is a problem. One particular member of the C suite is a sociopath and tormentor. High CFO turnover. High finance turnover. High back office turnover. A lot of long standing staff exits in short space of time. Individuals singled out and asked to come into office 4 days a week when other members of same team work remotely and from abroad weeks at a time. Haphazard and reactive approach to day to day operations. No career progression especially in back office. You will be doing the same job with no development. Long hours.
