Easy work, Toxic Employees

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work is quite easy and streamlined once you get the hang of it.

Cons

Very toxic employees, abuse and sexual harassment included. The diversity concept is for design - it's not practised by management (male-dominated, sexist, racist etc). Cliquey, a lot of micromanagement and lack of privacy. If you're actually intelligent, creative, confident and honest, you will be bullied & HR will gaslight you. Management is terrible at accountability and it is widespread knowledge, yet accepted. Seniors are based solely on age, not expertise. Only the toxic, afraid and mentally unstable survive. Don't expect to be well-trained, either.

Good place to work but not for everyone

Corporate solutions analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and nice people, great culture, great place for a beginner to reach an intermediate level of expertise on capital markets, steep learning curve, great exposure which will help you develop as a person and a professional. I would retire from here if the profile aligned with my long-term goals.

Cons

No work life balance. Steep learning curve means a lot of hard work which is not for everyone. This is a demanding job. You learn the meaning of multi-tasking, pressure, multiple and simultaneous deadlines very quickly. Working on live markets and be timely with updating the clients with the processes along with your normal deliverables can be hard work most of the times. If you are not ready for the grind, probably best to stay away. Remuneration definitely doesn't match the quantity or quality of work demanded.
