Pros

Excellent benefits - insurance coverage + perks

Cons

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.

Turnover of senior management is super high.

Pros

Pay is fair. Investment professionals are generally smart, hard working, and good people.

Cons

Employee turnover at the senior management level is super high, and this leads to lack of leadership, confusion, and poor culture. Non-investment professionals can be very political.

Pros

1. Nice work environment in the office. 2. Attractive benefits.

Cons

1. Many cultural and decisional differences between the office here in Warsaw, Poland and the headquarters from Connecticut, US. 2. Not enough local managers that could represent the teams that are being created in Warsaw. 3. High staff turnover in only one year of existing on the Polish market. A lot of employees did not even finish the 3 months probation period. 4. Non existing work - life balance. It is expected to work unpaid overtime.
