      Arrogant mid management with little flexibility at work though very profit driven

      Stock broker

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to learn but will end up being too specialised and narrow minded Good working environment and some colleagues are very professional yet down to earth Free fruits to keep employees healthy

      Cons

      Lower management clearly lacks of the necessary technical knowledge and competence but got there by staying with the company long enough and hanging on there. Middle management mostly arrogant and employ out of touch approach. At least three meetings a day if not more for an entry level manager. Higher ups normally work in the meetings! You just need to get used to bureaucracy here or you're not getting anyway

      Overpromised and underdelivered

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Has a desire to be successful A lot of fantastic people at or below VP level Good (but getting worse) reputation in the marketplace when looking to move on. Still resume-friendly A lot going on at the moment

      Cons

      Not everywhere, but definitely a lot of managing upwards and not so much leading at the upper-mid levels (VP/Director). A lot of buck passing and not so much team building and development. Step one seems to be first find someone to blame. Personality-based decisions/favoritism Unclear and shifting priorities. Difficult to get a decision to stick
