management is all about cost-cutting

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent people to work with and not as aggressive or toxic as some other financial firms.

Cons

Management is pretty bad and all about cost cutting. CEO is a joke and the firm seems years behind peers in terms of operations, strategy, performance, human capital, etc... Before the recession, it was a great place...but then the CEO got replaced and the new one is a complete joke with no sense about how to effectively manage people

Underperforming and underappreciative....

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Intelligent staff that prides itself on integrity and ethical behavior. Reasonable hours and work-life balance. Affiliation with sell-side research.

Cons

Limited room for advancement or transition. The firm's culture does not stress employee development. Morale is low and leadership lacks vision. Performance has also suffered, and senior management seems too stubborn to alter their approach.

Constant layoffs, below average pay, too much politics - not much room for growth as promotions are given to politics, no real defined roles in technology, backbiting in tech, behind the times in terms of tools and languages, company doesn't have innovative tools and builds on 8 year old technology
