ok if you can settle with less
Pros: - pay is bad within the industry, but above par for what you do
- non-pay benefits are good (for example maternity-leaves, etc)
- people are friendly (arrogance, etc exists but less than other companies within the industry)
- company has a strong brand value
Cons: - bureaucracy and politics x 100
- changes are very slow
- people not driven to make improvements
- performance has a tendency of not getting rewarded
- skill development ignored, no investment from the firm
- mobility is half a myth
- middle management structured in my complicated way. this glorifies the management job but creates large amounts of headcount waste.
- sometimes it feels like there are more managers and MDs than the actual works (analyst/associate levels)
- high performers leave the firm first
