DTCC reviews

An excessively political environment where the emphasis is on 'playing the game' rather than doing one's actual job. The lack of commercial thinking at all levels has led to a litany of high-profile failed initiatives over the past decade. The pre-eminence of Operations people at the heart of DTCC has led to a back-to-front culture whereby those closest to the clients have to justify their existence to Ops people. Career progression is based on ingratiating oneself with management, which has led to a preponderence of weak, deferential stooges running the show. Those with charisma, innovative ideas, and who speak the truth are invariably managed out. DTCC makes all its meaningful decisions out of the US leading to a US-centric thinking and poor morale in other regions. The US-driven politically-correct environment (policed by HR) drives some to distraction.

not that much of cons
