      Pros

      Quality of investment professionals are above the industry average Work is meaningful as monies go towards the government budget

      Cons

      Underperformance is tolerated for too long e.g. you can post negative investment returns for 3 - 5 years and no action will be taken. You will continue to be paid a bonus, which is subsidized by your friendly outperforming colleagues. Very high turnover in mid and back office Company is increasingly concerned with “image” rather than investment returns

      Pros

      Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

      Cons

      ​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
