Supportive colleagues but toxic environment and poor morale
Pros
* Colleagues from international teams are generally helpful, professional, and supportive. * Exposure to the trading domain.
Cons
* Toxic work environment with excessive office politics and favoritism. * Some managers appear to contribute little beyond maintaining their position, while expecting employees to carry the workload. * Strict enforcement of work-hour policies for employees, while management is often held to a different standard. * Performance evaluations and career growth can feel subjective, with significant influence from a single individual rather than a balanced feedback process. * Lack of transparency in decision-making and promotions. * Employee feedback is rarely acknowledged or acted upon. * Poor morale due to uncertainty and recurring layoffs. * Job security concerns make it difficult to plan a long-term career. * Limited recognition for hard work and technical contributions. * Overall culture discourages open communication and constructive criticism.
