DTCC reviews

Because there is no external competition, everyone focuses on competing internally, so the level of office politics and back-stabbing is off the charts. To be a successful manager here, more than anything else, you have to be extremely cunning - know how to take more than your share of the credit and less than you share of the blame, be ready to throw people under the bus at the drop of a hat, etc. Senior management or HR could put a stop to it, but both are completely feckless.

The environment is extremely toxic. Senior Management openly endorses favoritism. The favorites get promotions and carte blanche to do whatever they want despite continuous complaints from other team members. Complaints in general fall on deaf ears and are used against the people who dare to speak up. Most Managers have no soft or leadership skills. Some employees are openly arrogant, rude and unprofessional, but Management turns a blind eye to any complaints. Being a team player, polite and courteous to your co-workers are not appreciated here. The Management in general is not interested in people's development or growth, or hearing what people have to offer. Anything you read about HR - is true! They are completely useless. They entice you with a high salary and promises of career growth/internal mobility but the reality is completely different. In the end, you have to choose between the money and keeping your sanity.
