Transformation Badly Needed

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Way above market pay and bonus, early retirement benefits that you can’t get elsewhere. No pressure to perform as returns are measured long term so can always justify underperformance as short term market weaknesses and injection will still come in. Depends on department, work can be sub-par and as long as you are good in upward management, will still be well rewarded.

Cons

Need to be on your toes at all time, must learn how to suck up to your boss to survive. For CS staff, you may not develop broad skillsets after a while since you are too specialised and pampered in just focusing on a narrow field.

Good brand name, poor management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, things get easy after a while. Even when returns are poor, bonuses are also quite attractive.

Cons

Poor leadership, most middle managers lack people management skills, staff not developed and stretched to their potential. Aims to run like IB but not quite there.
