Management team is arrogant. They are always right. When they made mistake, they will just keep quiet and pretend like it didn't happen. They like to set unrealistic goals. If an employee somehow managed to hit any of them, they will raise the bar immediately and ignore his/her achievement. . Performance appraisal is a joke. There is no shared visions from top to bottom. Everyone is walking in different direction. People at the lowest hierarchy have to work on competing requests from all direction. HR is not playing the right role to build a proper assessment process. Managers don't have a systematic way to evaluate their subordinates. . Team player will get hurt the most. Many people in the team will magnify your mistakes and embarrass you in front of management/team members/users. . No career path at all. You will be working on everything everyday, sometimes including weekend and public holidays. No job specialisation. You can only be a half-cooked data analyst/scientist who may not have an opportunity to work on any research project.

- Highly political in terms of growth - Pay is on the lower end for industry standard - Little career development opportunities to move into any kind of market-facing role / take responsibility in investment decisions when working on a silo team doing tech work - Culture of research analysts being in charge even on the same investment team as other data scientists / software engineers
