USAA Quantitative Risk reviews

Stressful, potential to make more elsewhere

Severe information control. If you're an analyst, you give the info to your direct (plus a script so they 'look good') and they play telephone up through the C-level circle. It's a poor habit. Sometimes backbiting can occur when peers or managers may be threatened by errors you uncovered. Some execs do not understand the long game with quant analysis. Poor models may be 'ok' in the short term, but nearly always fail in the longer - and they can do nothing but react. These VPs are never held accountable to forcing their subordinates to cut corners.
