      Not what it used to be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Well established systems in place for handling admin, training, timesheets, etc - Lots of training - Overall pay package is very good

      Cons

      - The Citi robots have taken over and there is no more banter. CME used to be a place that people didn't leave, and now they can' get out quick enough. If you go to CME, you'll get a decent package, but you won't enjoy it there. - Promotions, increases, and bonuses are often based on popularity, not effort or what you write up in your PMP. Someone who is friendly (in some cases too friendly) with their manager is more likely to get a promotion than a quiet hard worker who provides more value.

      Short-sighted and greedy

      Senior qa engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well paid, and freedom to operate. You are encouraged to take risks and be innovative (because they can always fire you if need be).

      Cons

      Company cares more about shareholders than staff. Sacked large portion of the company during lockdown even whilst making profit in order to continue paying dividends to investors. The technology roadmap looks grim due to recent change in strategy. New projects are funded by individual business sector representatives, which mean that during market instability engineers are first to be sacked (which has halted multi year projects in active development). Company’s stance is to look backward and to hold on to what they have and has not got a clue how to plan for the future. Avoid working here unless the pay being offered is very compelling. They can and do sack well performing individuals of both full time and contract employment without time for hand over. Do not work here if you are looking for a home to nurture your career.

Most important is whatever your position in this company you may lose your job any time, whether it is because of your performance or it is a compliance 6. They will not give you a second chance to rectify your mistake. You have to go out. 7. People are from very high designation like director, manager, leads got fired because of silly reason. 8.
