Cons
The job description shared during the hiring process was misleading. The role was presented as equity research–oriented, but in reality, the work largely involves marketing activities. Candidates should not rely solely on the JD and must clearly verify the actual nature of the role before joining. The management structure is weak, and the overall work environment feels negative and stressful. The culture is extremely strict to the extent that normal, healthy interaction or a friendly atmosphere among colleagues is discouraged, which adds to the toxicity. There is also a serious lack of basic workplace hygiene and infrastructure. The washroom is common for all employees and poorly maintained, making it highly uncomfortable for female employees. Given that someone in leadership claims a professional background in architecture, the absence of clean and thoughtfully designed washroom facilities for women is particularly disappointing. There is no canteen or basic refreshment facility. Even tea or coffee has to be paid for separately. Additionally, there is no appreciation or acknowledgment for extra efforts such as late sittings or additional work, which can be demotivating. From a career perspective, the quality of work does not align with what someone would expect when aiming to build a serious career in finance or equity research. The exposure and learning are limited and not industry-relevant. Work-life balance is also poor. There are no Saturdays off, and even on national holidays, employees are expected to explicitly ask for leave. The behavior of the leadership is often rude and unprofessional, further contributing to a toxic work culture. Overall, I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a genuine finance or equity research role or a healthy, professional work environment.
