      IT Missed Opportunity

      Senior associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people Excellent perks Decent benefits Fair compensation Growing company Positive outlook on the market Offices in all major cities

      Cons

      So much turnover in recent months with no explanation by the management. Very little effort made by the management to address IT survey results. As if, survey results do not matter. Then, why waste everyone’s time? Why is there a false assumption that everything is well within the org?

      Pros

      I wanted to counter some of the negative comments about technology team leadership and culture. Have been here for over 2 years at this point and have found the firm and team to have a great culture and collaborative environment. IT team leadership have been very accessible and provide good direction and guidance on the "what/why" behind objectives as well as take time to check in. Good partnership with business users and have worked on few challenging initiatives providing lots of learning opportunities.

      Cons

      Limited work from home flexibility Few learning opportunities to understand various business units and investment platforms

      IT Culture

      Vice president of technology

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Despite everything that happened in 2020, there has been tremendous amount of deal flow and growth.

      Cons

      The IT culture is not aligned with the company culture leading to confusion. Key considerations: - new employees are hired without role clarity - current team members are unaware of new members joining the team - leadership is not coachable despite numerous attempts - be prepared to have leadership talk to junior staff members behind your back to create more confusion - IT townhalls continue to be a joke with no strong message
