Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture, good people. Wish more were back in the office but the company has done a poor job making people feel safe to do so - not from COVID but from the dangers of Murderapolis

Cons

Little emphasis from upper management on research, doesn’t make as much cash for the company as banking so we are left high and dry. Salaries are a fraction of competitors and work/life is worse as many competitors have teams of more than just a single associate. Little opportunity for upward mobility and development
