Pros
- Some management cares about complaints and will raise them up - A lot of opportunities to develop skills and career development - Educational perks (CFA study guides + groups, in-depth learning programs, tuition reimbursement) - Executive management beginning to address some concerns from attrition and employee dissatisfaction: move to quarterly bonuses, improved culture around internal movement, approving hiring more people for understaffed teams
Kontras
- Progress is painfully slow and attrition has caused burnout and loss of tenured/knowledgeable folks - Pay is below market - tenured people don't see great raises. Entry-level pay increased significantly to keep up with market, but mid-senior positions have not moved with it, resulting in uneven pay and resentment. There was talk of fixing this direct from executives at the beginning of the pandemic but it was just talk. - Influx of inexperienced hires has led to friction between teams and no team has yet to figure out how to train new people (well) remotely - Some managers are very dishonest - to the people they manage and to directors. Results in pushing management work onto the people they actually manage but getting the credit. Results in attrition and complacency
