Workers are paid well. Company has a trading driven environment and allows lots of flexibility in applying your talent. Managers in general do not push workers as they are mostly busy in working towards their own bonus checks.

Politics matter more than effort/skill for advancement, lack of executive order thwarts productivity, overly aggressive culture is demeaning and time consuming, embracing diversity is only lip-service.
