Too many leeches (over paid staff)

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

Great if you make it into the “inner” circle.

Cons

Too many politics, too many MDs who are over paid. Lots of Sr staff who generate 0 revenue but enjoy the benefits being in the “inner” circle. Others who never reach their target budget but are still paid a high salary.

Appalling management in Asia

Pros

Great team on the ground

Cons

Asia equity sales management was purely self serving and did not bother to understand either the customer base or changes facing the company and industry. Many great opportunities are continuing to appear, but this management team was purposely very short sighted, to maintain the status quo internally, and continued to fight (badly) yesterday's wars
