Pros

Good benefits - pension contribution, private health insurance, hybrid work, descent sallary.

Cons

The worst working environment ever. Micromanaging people who aren't graduates but have 10+ working experience - i.e checking emails/presentations for spelling mistakes. Weekly catch ups where you are being questioned why you haven't smiled more or why you don't take more notes at meetings ( people still using desktops instead of laptops and you can only write on paper like in primary school). Manager not there and not able to get an opiniom or advice, manager is just for 'escalation'. Passive aggressive behavior from various people/team members across the department. People not willing to update /change their policies despite telling you that they welcome change. Pretending everyone is like a 'big family' here. Honestly, the worst working environment in my life, another colleague left after a few months as well. 2 weeks after I started I also started looking for another job. Having said that there are lots of good people there - operations, front office etc but sadly not in this department where senior management has been there for 15+ years. The only reason why i did not complain to HR was that I knew I was going to find something else, which I did. For someone who changed 7 jobs already, this is the worst working culture. Don't go unless you want to be a minion or want to be bullied.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
