Pros

At the moment, none! Everything for which I joined the company has vanished, but yeah with no leads and lack of business, I have enough time on hand to apply for new jobs

Cons

The sentiment is negative, colleagues are worried, their is a sense of panic on job security. We have had alot of changes in less than 6 months, and none of those changes have paid out, its like playing musical chairs everyday in office, and if you are the one holding the bag, too bad, your days are numbered here. Management is clueless in new business division, they have demoted certain people and managers too, business is not picking up as they had envisioned, the AMs are clueless and generally the sentiment is 'quit' or else you'd be shown the door... There are 2 MDs in the sales division, but across 3 years, I haven't been able to understand what their roles are, so much overlap in their work, and yet our dear Paul S, CRO can't see the huge cost and business liability these MDs are!! Hush hush, oops I said it.

Pros

Solid product, talented peers, and meaningful exposure to the private markets. You can build useful skills in account management and other customer-facing roles. Many individual contributors are smart, capable, and supportive of one another.

Cons

The biggest risk here is not the product or the day-to-day work - it is leadership. In some offices and teams, senior leaders create an environment where trust is low, expectations are inconsistent, and favoritism or perception can matter more than performance. Instead of clear direction and constructive support, employees are often left dealing with shifting standards, mixed messages, and a culture where appearances matter too much. Basic respect is not always there, and some leaders rely on intimidation rather than good management. Speaking up, asking questions, or challenging something professionally does not always help and can sometimes work against you. This is especially hard on strong performers. Taking on more usually leads to more pressure, not more support or recognition. Once leadership forms a negative view of someone, it can be difficult to change, even when that person is delivering results. Over time, the environment can feel political, discouraging, and draining. The result is predictable: burnout, disengagement, and avoidable turnover. A number of talented people have left not because they were incapable, but because the leadership culture made the job unsustainable.
