Used to be a good company but management overhaul is a disaster

Associate director

Business Outlook

Pros

Work is challenging and a lot of fun if you are self motivated

Cons

I have been at the company for over 10 years and it used to be a good place to work. They overhauled the management and hired a group of completely unqualified people. All they are doing now is pretending to be a family firm and instituting "efficiency" measures which are really just ways to pay employees less. It is so unfortunate as it really used to be a top notch fund.

Business Outlook

Pros

It use to be a good place with good management, and fare compensation. A place where you could stay and make your career.

Cons

Too much pressure to perform has lead to environment of paranoia. Senior management has stopped caring. Salaries have lagged the market. They promise a lot, but always fail to deliver. Old creaking infrastructure. Culture is toxic, and it's hard to trust people around you. It use to be a low turnover, but it has shot through the roof in last few years. The model has changed to IP gathering. Hire people learn what they know, and then force them out.
