Pros

- Some good people. - Good location. - Insurance on top of salary (they attract you to work there but 'you get what you pay for')

Cons

- No work life balance. No flexibility. Working from home will never be an option - Outdated management micro manages employees - Poor management from top to bottom - No room to grow, the old guys will never leave and they don't like to change anything - you will stuck there forever - No plans for improvement. No support, when something went wrong you're on your own and you have to deal with some of these useless managers - Does not listen to employees or care about their mental well being or happiness. Only cares about the bottom line. - Handled Covid extremely poorly. - Pay is actually not great, other local companies pay better, and you also have heaps of flexibilities around your personal life and family. - A boy club

Pros

Compensation was solid. Benefits were consistently good. The cafeteria was a real perk. Sounds trivial until you've worked somewhere that doesn't have one. Culture at the team level was collaborative, not cutthroat. If you liked fixed income, you could go deep on it here; the firm didn't try to be everything to everyone, which I respected.

Cons

Senior leadership could be opaque about direction.
