Toxic culture, poor managers

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good bonus - Many freebies, company trips. - Diverse peer group - Ok Salary

Cons

- Bad middle-management, Senior management is even worse. Heights of micromanagement (more stressful than the real work) - Company has changed in last 3-4 years, mostly for bad. - Only motivation to work is the bonus (if company makes good profit and manager likes you) - Too many random changes, restructuring very frequently by handful of people having no clear vision and communication. - Almost 30% of the company does nothing but sits in meetings/offsites.

Horrible culture and leadership

Pros

The perks are probably as good as it gets. Nice office space, massages once a week, company trip, catered lunches everyday and outings after work.

Cons

Everything... the culture is very toxic. Lack of diversity and lack of leadership. The MD/Leadership doesn’t do much but sit around and let the people and place perish.
