Ares Management reviews

Management is horrible and micro-managers (either you have managers that can't plan anything or you have managers that want 50k steps to change a hard disks). Incredibly long hours followed up by zero thanks for working hard. Overall the place is run with management by fear. Consequently moral is horrible, people are scared, and thus the stress is extreme.

Strongly discouraged to share information, employees are expected to put in long hours re-inventing the wheel as a substitute for any vision of how information systems should be built. My experience with line managers were that they were extremely arrogant and dim-witted and have neither grasp of bank instruments or knowledge of project management. Testing consisited of putting code into production and cursing. Silos of parochial knowledge.
