1. Compensation is often below comparable financial-services peers, particularly given the level of responsibility and complexity of the work. 2. Roles and expectations are not always clearly defined, which can create uncertainty around ownership, authority, and measures of success. 3. Decision-making can be slow due to multiple layers of review, extensive socialization, and a highly consensus-driven culture. 4. Employees may be expected to drive significant change without always receiving the authority, resources, or executive access needed to implement it effectively. 5. Career progression and recognition can feel inconsistent, especially when the scope of the work exceeds the employee’s formal title or level.
